Six Daily Leaderboard at Run It Once Poker
Run It Once Poker recently launched its leadeRboards promotion and it’s fair to say it has been a massive hit with their players. They’ve been deemed so successful that Run It Once Poker’s management team keep extending them and boosting the leaderboards’ prizes.
There are three No-Limit Hold’em and a trio of Pot-Limit Omaha leaderboards each day and they each payout the top 10 points earners. Cash prizes worth up to €200 are sat, waiting to be won by those players who get their grind on and rack up points.
Players whose staple game is PLO200 or above can also compete in a weekly leaderboard where the top 15 players win between €100 and a cool €2,000.
Earning points is simple: receive 1 point for every €1 generated in rake. The leaderboards are split based on the stakes you play for, making for a fairer experience because you’re battling with opponents playing at the same level as you.

Play Some Fishy Tournaments at 888poker
888poker is well-known, almost famous in fact, for having more than its fair share of recreational cash game players, but its tournaments are also fishy. They’re literally fishy because some of the site’s best tournaments are named after creatures you’d find in the sea!
First, there’s the Catfish that runs four times per day. The buy-in for the Catfish is $12 but its guarantees range from $1,500 and $4,000 depending what time of day you’re playing.
Two Swordfish tournaments run each day, the Mini Swordfish and Late Night Swordfish. The mini commands a $3.30 buy-in and features a $1,000 guarantee. That late night edition’s buy-in weighs in at $30 and pays out at least $3,000.
Then there’s a trio of Starfish events, including a deepstack edition. All three cost $22 to enter and have guarantees up to $2,000.
You may find some of these fish washed up on the shore during Monsoon season, which is another 888poker tournament. Three Monsoon tournaments run every day, each costing $55 to enter. Two have $2,000 guaranteed prize pools, but the main Monsoon, at 7:30 p.m. CET, has a juicy $10,000 prize pool waiting for you to win.
