TPT Season 4 got kicked off in style on October 25 at our new venue Barbados Bar. It was that night, that TPT announced that the grand prize for the season finale this time around is the biggest yet — airfare and hotel (Grand Lisboa) for the winner to Macau, plus entry into the main event this time. That got people into the spirit early on and the competition has heated up since.
It helps that second place also gets airfare and hotel in Macau plus entry into a side event. News of new prizes continue to trickle out as we see how the numbers for the season go. Third place is an iPad 2 and we hope to announce more final table prizes soon. Of course, weekly winners and top finishers are receiving PokerStars gear and, more importantly to some, online tournament credits on PokerStars. Players who have never deposited money online are now playing real tourneys for real prizes on PokerStars. It is definitely fun to see.
Season Standings
We are now six live tourneys and two online tourneys into Season Four and there are a few surprises. The Nov. 13 online tourney has not been entered into the points yet, but so far your TPT4 leader (by about 400 points) is Vivian Wang. She has been super steady all season and is a regular at final tables. Gabow is close behind in second, while TPT3 Champ Mr. Xiao is lurking behind in sixth place.
One of our more attractive final tables.
One other Top 20 player of note, is TPT’s own Rich. Who after playing one live tourney is sitting pretty in 17th place. Remember TPT staff and family are eligible for the grand prize, so check the point standings carefully! If one of us miraculously is gifted 1000 points, you’ll understand why.
Tonight we are hitting the tables again at Barbados Bar. Registration starts at 7 as always and cards fly at 8.
See you tonight!
