Ladbrokes Hosts Steve David Bounty Tourney’s

Snooker legend Steve “5K2″ Davis is set to appear in a series of exclusive poker tournaments for the European poker and sportsbook giant Ladbrokes. With two events already in the books, this dangerous player is becoming harder and harder to knock out.

The next episode kicks off on October 26th at 19:30 GMT, under the simply named Steve “5K2″ Davis Bounty moniker. The buy in for this event will be £5 + £0.50. Players will start with 2,000 chips, with the blind increase timer set at ten minutes. There will be one half-price rebuy and one add-on allowed, giving competitors a chance to pad their stacks.

The bounty will not activate until after the rebuy clock expires, which will allow both the pro and his pursuers to get their feet firmly set. £200 will be awarded to the player who eventually knocks out the six-time World Title winner, with bitcoin roulette an additional £50 bounty going to the one who beats his manager, MGR – Richard. The first person who bumps of David will also receive an exclusive “I knocked out Steve Davis” mug, which will serve as proof of their impressive feat.

Also, in honor of David’s aforementioned six title wins, Ladbrokes is offering an extra incentive beyond the bounties. The player who finishes sixth overall in the main tournament will receive tickets for a top snooker tournament.

Once the guest of honor is officially eliminated from the main event, he will join up with a cash or sit and go tournament, where players will have another chance to chat with the crafty veteran. Ladbrokes will be giving away some tickets to their Poker Cruise Tournament, which will give players a shot to earn their spot on the £4,000 Ladbrokes Poker Cruise this January.

For Ladbrokes users with extra poker points to spend, a whole new world has just opened up. You’d expect a new shop to be limited to items like T-Shirts, chip sets, and maybe a few commemorative coffee mugs, right?

Wrong. Enter the Ladrbokes Poker Points Shop, which holds so many goodies that you’ll probably have a hard time deciding what to buy first! Ladbrokes offers several mind blowing prizes, such as Harley Davidson motorcycles, a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, and a trip into space courtesy of Virgin Galactic. Yes, you read that correctly. If you manage to amass enough Poker Points, you may be able to earn a trip outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.

But take a deep breath. While these are all awesome prizes, it’s really the low to mid level packages which will be within reach of the average player. And that group would be hard pressed to find a better place to purchase goodies than the Ladbrokes Shop. Everything from sunglasses to watches, from video games to home theaters, and from sporting events to vacation packages are available for purchase. All of this plus the aforementioned chip sets and clothing can be had in exchange for your extra poker points.

The site also features a constantly rotating roster of sale-priced items. Right now, users can cash in on discounts on such trinkets as premium luggage, diamond rings, Sony PSP’s and several designs of Zippo lighters.

If, by some miracle, you can’t find something you like in their store, Ladbrokes has opened a new email address where you can send them suggestions. Mail your thoughts to them at shop@ladbrokespoker.com.

After a much-hyped planning phase, it looks as though Ladbrokes is poised to make this new Poker Shop a resounding success. If they can keep this kind of variety in stock, expect to see several other sites up the ante.
