DuckPoker Rake Race Update: "iamadoctor" Leads The Rankings
As you should already know by now, the PokerNews Cup, our very own live poker series, is coming back in 2014 for its sixth and long-awaited edition.
As the PokerNews community heats up for the event that will take place in Vienna, Austria, from Oct. 9 to Oct. 14, some online poker rooms have decided to launch a large number of interesting promotions that could get you right in the middle of the action with some great all-inclusive packages.
If you play on DuckPoker, for example, you should know that the latest Rake Race organized by the room gives you a very good chance to put your hands on a package that will not only bring you to Vienna, but will also give you a seat to play the €75,000 guaranteed main event for free!
So, just to make things a little more clear (and interesting) here is that is included in the package up for grabs on DuckPoker right now:
- A seat to the €75,000 guaranteed main event
- Three nights at the 4-star Roomz Hotel in Vienna
- $350 cash for travel and spending money
- Access to all the activities organized during the PokerNews Cup
Since this is a PokerNews-exclusive promotion, in order to take part to this special rake race you must have a DuckPoker account through our links.
If this describes you, just go ahead and play as much as possible from Aug. 1 until Aug. 31 to work your way to the top of the leaderboard.
If you don't already have an account, now is a great time to do so, as if you download DuckPoker through PokerNews, you will enter the promotion and also receive $5 in tournament money for free and without a deposit.
