The champion of Ladbrokes Poker Million VII will be decided in less than a month’s time on December 12th on Sky Sports 3 and there’s still time for you to make it straight to the semi-final! Ladbrokes Poker is running daily ‘Chase the Chair’ freerolls up until 28th November, the ultimate winner of which will be awarded a $120,000 Poker Million VII semi-final seat, $5,000 in expenses, 5 nights accommodation for 2 at Hilton Metropole London, Green Room passes for their semi-final and a table for ten at the Poker Million VII Live Final party. The winner will play in the second semi-final on the 11th December against Ladbrokes Poker’s own Roy Brindley, Devilfish, Asian Poker tour winner Tony G, 2008 WSOP Bracelet winner Marty Smyth, and World Open Champion Anthony Hardy for a $1,000,000 first prize. The eleven runners-up in the Chase the Chair promotion will each win a $2,000 Live Final VIP package

Edward Ihre MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: “This is huge! It’s the first time that we have enabled players to qualify directly into the semi-finals. Poker Million is renowned for mixing it up and to be honest, I think the ever changing elements of the format is one of the reasons why it’s still one of the most watched poker shows on TV!”

“In 2003 Snooker champion, Jimmy White won the title, 2005 saw Freeroll winner Tony Jones and Helen Chamberlain of Soccer AM fame upset the apple cart. Chamberlain beat Crazy Horse himself Ram Vaswani in her heat to make it to the final table. The rest is history, Tony clinched first and a cool $1,000,000 and Helen came second winning $500,000. Poker Million V in 2006, saw $9 qualifier Raj Modha take down the tournament against a top notch field, so who knows what will happen this time around.”

This year’s tournament has seen the most change. Each of the twelve, six handed heats produced not only a winner, but also a runner-up, who now has the opportunity to play in a second chance qualifier to make it through to the semi-finals. The Chase the Chair Freerolls and LEOCOP Masters event will produce the final two semi-finalists and will result in two eight seated semi-finals, rather than the traditional two six handed semi-finals. The six final tablists will be determined in the same manner as always, with top three finishers in each semi-final progressing to the final table.

All Chase the Chair satellites will be held at 7pm UK time and can be found in the MTT section of Tables in the Ladbrokes Poker lobby in either MTT / All or MTT / Offline Events / Poker Million VII / Chase the Chair. The Chase the Chair satellites are free to enter every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with satellites on other nights requiring 120 player points to enter. Each Freeroll lasts about one hour and registration open’s two hours before the start of each satellite.

32Red has announced that one of its players claimed a second large jackpot win from the same slot machine in under a month. The lucky player has taken home a total of £37,864.09 in just 17 days and becomes one of the online casino‘s luckiest customers.

With a history of big winners, 32Red can demonstrate a series of large payouts that include a £1,094,112.81 win on Major Millions, which was one of the biggest payouts ever recorded at an online casino, and £1,000,641 on King Cashalot. Both of these wins came from one of 32Red’s 150+ slot machines and represent just two of twelve jackpot games available at 32Red, including Mega Moolah – the jackpot to which currently stands at over £4,500,000.

Remarkably, these latest jackpots all came from the same slot machine, Cash Splash . The casino reports the probability of this happening as very low, with Ed Ware, 32Red CEO, remarking “Although large jackpot wins are quite common at 32Red, the chances of the same player winning the jackpot from the same game twice in a month are both staggering and wonderful.”

The player from Dorset logged in as normal on the 9th October and loaded the Cash Splash progressive online slot game, triggering the jackpot of £22,949.09 shortly after. He then logged in again on the 26th October and won a further £14,915, making a total payout of £37,864.09 for him in October. Ware said, “This series of big wins couldn’t come at a better time too, with another winner at 32Red well and truly beating the credit crunch in October and lining up a very special Christmas”.

The Cash Splash progressive slot is available to play in two forms – as a 3 reel, single payline slot and a 5 reel, 15 payline machine. The jackpot is triggered by the game’s logo symbol falling across the reels on the selected payline. When this happens the displayed jackpot total within the game is the figure won by the player. This amount varies and is connected to how much the game is played, with a fraction added to the jackpot every time the reels are spun. After the player’s second win, the jackpot was reset and now stands at over £11,500, prompting Ware to ask, “Can this same player make it 3 wins in short succession? Either way it has to be his luckiest autumn and we wish him the best of luck in the future”.
