TOURNEY KING – $20,000 in Prizes

Plenty of free money to be awarded with Carbon’s all new Tourney King promotion.  Every month Carbon will automatically track the tournament results and award High Limit or Low Limit leaderboard points, based on a unique formula. With a combined value of over $20,000 in cash and prizes every month, it’s a blast for all the tournament players.

How It Works

Carbon offers two leaderboards running side by side, the Low Limit leaderboard for tournaments with buyins of $0 – $19.99 and the High Limit leaderboard for buy-in’s of $20 or more. Each leaderboard will have its own Grand Final tournament, with the winner of each Final walking away with the cash, accolade and bragging rights as the ‘Tourney King’ of Carbon. To qualify for either of the monthly Leaderboard Grand Final tournaments you need to finish in the top 250 places for the corresponding leaderboard. A unique chipstack will be assigned to finalists based on how many points have been accumulated in the month. The players can even win entry to both Finals they qualify for, so why not give it a try and take down both leaderboards.

What You Win

With a combined prizepool of over $20,000 in cash and are paid instantly into your account without any play requirements needed. Winners will even receive a special Tourney King accolade to show off at the tables for years to come. Also, you can benefit from the Carbon bonus :

Joe Cada outlasted 6,493 other entrants to take down the 2009 World Series of Poker championship early Tuesday morning.
With his victory, Cada becomes the youngest player to ever win the World Series of Poker main event breaking the record of Peter Eastgate.

Despite entering heads-up play with a large chip deficit, Darvin Moon battled valiantly, actually taking over the chip lead for a short period of time before eventually giving it back for good.

The final hand of the tournament went down like this:

Cada had the button (and the chip lead) and raised to 3 million pre-flop.
Moon re-raised up to eight million, which led Cada to push all-in.
After a bit of deliberation, Moon made the call. The two players showed:
Moon – Qd Jd
Cada – 9c 9d
The board ran out:

8c-2c-7s-Kh-7c

Cada, with his pair of nines, had taken down poker’s biggest prize after a long and drawn-out battle.
Moon, who had battled very hard, ended up walking away with a second place finish.

For his victory, Joe Cada received $8,547,042, as well as the coveted World Series of Poker bracelet. Moon ended up taking home $5,182,928 for his second place finish.

The final table ended up taking a grueling 364 hands to complete, which translated into approximately 24 hours of play.

With that, the 2009 World Series of Poker has finally come to an end, despite beginning over five months ago.

Here is how the final table finished out:

1. Joe Cada, $8,547,042
2. Darvin Moon, $5,182,928
3. Antoine Saout, $3,479,670
4. Eric Buchman, $2,502,890
5. Jeff Shulman, $1,953,452
6. Steven Begleiter, $1,587,160
7. Phil Ivey, $1,404,014
8. Kevin Schaffel, $1,300,231
9. James Akenhead, $1,263,602

Cada has no one else to beat. With a tear in the corner of his eye and his lips pursed to hold back obvious emotion, Cada lifted his new bracelet above his head and accepted his role of ambassador to the poker world.
Congratulations to Joe Cada on the victory !

The popularity of internet poker continues to soar, with sites recording record numbers in 2009. The global financial crisis has not put a dampener on the poker or indeed any online gambling market, and internet gamblers are increasingly turning to the online poker room as opposed to the more traditional sports bookmaker.

Traditional reasons for playing poker at home were for entertainment and for social purposes. A game at home was usually an opportunity for friends to gather around a table and hang out. This can still be achieved in an internet poker room, and if you stick to small stakes tables and use the chat facilities well, then you will undoubtedly make some online friends on your way to winning (or losing) a few bucks).

Another main motivation is to make money, and poker is one of the few forms of online wagering where you can actually win regularly. Casino-style betting has odds rigged against you, making it virtually impossible to win in the long run. Sports betting is also nearly impossible to beat without insider information. Thus, poker is one of the few forms of gambling where one can actually win money in the long run simply by being good at the game.

If this is motivation enough for you, then check out one of the many poker sites online.

Expose one card

Weather your laying down your hand to a big bet, or of no one called your bet, if you really want to keep your opponents on their toes, use Carbon Poker ‘s ‘expose one card’ feature.

Some poker rooms allow you to show both your hole cards, but at Carbon Poker we go one further and allow you to show either both your cards, or just one card.

Say you had top pair but a weak kicker and you couldn’t call a big bet you might show your high card to prove you weren’t on a complete bluff. Conversely you might show your low card, to appear as if you were on a complete bluff. Either way showing only 1 card generally leaves your opponent asking more questions for which you gave answers with the card that you did show.

Biggest Initial Deposit Bonus Ever!

Right now is the best time to take the plunge and join in the real money action at Carbon Poker , just by using any of our 3 Special Initial Deposit bonus codes!

Simply, visit the cashier and when making your initial deposit enter the bonus code of your choice to receive:

* 200% up to $500 (Max Dep $250)

* 150% up to $1,000 (Max Dep $750)

* 125% up to $2,500 (Max Dep $2,000)

You will also receive :

# 14 days entry to daily $500 Depositor Freeroll
# 1 x $10,000 Freeroll entry
# $50 Freerolls every 2 hours Open to any Carbon Poker member .

On the last Sunday of every month at 15:00, Carbon Poker will run a $50,000 Freeroll that is open to all players who earn 5000 comp points so far in the current month.
