Earlier today we brought you word of one online poker site’s monthly race renewing for August 2012; now we bright you word of another monthly race renewing at a different poker site. That site is Intertops Poker and the race: the 26-Day Endurance Challenge.
Like the Lock Poker Battle of the Ronin described this morning, the Intertops Poker 26-Day Endurance Challenge invites players to compete against the clock, not each other, for individual prizes (although some of those prizes, admittedly, are tournament entries, pitting player against player anyway.)
The prizes in the Intertops Poker 26-Day Endurance Challenge are smaller, but they’re also easier to win. Instead of having to contribute increasingly large amounts of money to rake and tournament fees, that is, earning increasingly more VIP points, here you simply must earn a modest number of the equivalent, Frequent Player Points (FPP) but sustain those daily earnings over several (not necessarily consecutive) days.
Freeroll entries of increasing value are available for sustaining targets of 14 to 224 FPP for 5, 10 or 15 days of the 26-Day period: August 1 to 27. Cash prizes are also available for the highest of those daily and or FPP targets. Players are entitled to one freeroll entry and one cash prize in each 26-Day Endurance Challenge, those prize being, of course, the highest valued ones for which a player is eligible.
Freeroll entries have guaranteed prize pools of, respectively: $750; $1,000; $1,500. Cash prizes range from $3 to $43. Freeroll qualifiers and cash prizes will all be awarded on August 31, 2012.
