The trees are up, the lights are shinning, the gifts are half bought, and the booze is in stock. Christmas is just around the corner and 888 Poker is getting into the Christmas spirit by giving away free cash to members of its online poker community with their HIT the 888s promotion and Holiday Hold’em promotion – all for big Christmas prizes.
HIT the 888s couldn’t be simpler. If you get any of the following hands on cash games at 888 Poker and you’ll win a seat in a $888 Holiday Freeroll. The hands are 2 Pairs: 8s and aces, Full House over 8s, 3 of a Kind 8s, Full House 8s Over, 4 of a Kind 8s. If you get any of these hands you’ll be invited to take part in the following day’s $888 Holiday Freeroll; however if you get 4 of a Kind 8s you’ll also be entered for a fortnightly Holiday Freeroll with a prize pool of $8,888.
In addition to HIT the 888s, 888 Poker is also running Holiday Hold’em. Holiday Hold’em tournaments will run on December 15th, 20th, 22nd, 27th, and 29th as well as on January 3rd at 19:00 GMT, and all these tournaments have a buy-in of just 8c. With a buy-in like that you might expect the prize pool to be low, but that couldn’t be further from the case. In fact the Holiday Hold’em promotion has prizes worth a potential of tens of thousands of dollars, and despite the virtually free poker play entry will award prizes to the top 100 finishers in each tournament. The first place winner of each Holiday Hold’em tournament will receive a $1,000 voucher plus a seat in the $50k Challenge. All players finishing in the top 30 positions will get cash vouchers as well as buy-ins to the $50k Challenge. Places 31st to 100th will get seats in the $8,888 Holiday Freeroll.
