Romania Win the European Bounty Cup

After a month-long festival of knockout poker, Romania have won the European Bounty Cup, defeating Great Britain in a tight fight at the top of the leaderboard.

Romania led at the halfway stage, and they kept the lead right up until the end, securing all Romanian players a seat in a €2,000 prizepool freeroll. Meanwhile Great Britain would have to settle for a €1,000 prizepool freeroll. The third-placed team of the Netherlands received a €500 prizepool freeroll.

Unibet Ambassador Simpson Hints at Return of Stream Satellites

After the success of Simpson's Stream Satellites, PokerNews caught up with the Unibet Poker Ambassador to hear what he had to say, what his viewers thought about the promotion, and whether there could be another Stream Satellite promotion in the future.

A couple of months ago, I wanted to spice up the rewards I give away on my stream. Unibet are kind enough to help me promote my page with freerolls and I wanted to restructure it to better reward my regular viewers and to give them something fresh.

A lot of my viewers are recreational players who enjoy satellite tournaments. Partially because of the thrill of playing a bigger than normal tournament for their bankrolls and partially because of the unique skill element they entail. They’ve all read my fellow ambassador Dara O’Kearney’s book Poker Satellite Strategy and love applying what he taught them. I decided that changing my freerolls into satellites would be a fun idea. To make the target tournament more exclusive to my viewers I wanted it so that you could only play it if you followed the satellite route. I really wanted a format that would reward them for being a part of our community. Therein however lays a snafu.

You see, I pitched this idea to the wonderful, yet formidable, Kat Arnsby, who has recently started working for Unibet Poker. She immediately took a shine to the idea, polished it, but made it clear in no uncertain terms that I would also have to follow the satellite route if I wanted to play my own damn tournament.

We decided to award lots of €1 tickets in freerolls and let people buy into the satellite tree at the €1 step. We also decided to add tickets to every step to make every stage of the satellite tree brimming with value. Embarrassingly for me, despite the fact I class myself as a decent satellite player, I failed to qualify for a tournament with my name on it. Much to the enjoyment of Team Unibet who haven’t let it drop since.

Despite the awkwardness of not qualifying for my own tournament, it was areally heart-warming moment when two of my community offered to give me one of the extra tickets they had won for it. These are people who normally grind small stakes poker, offering up a €25 ticket that isn’t an insignificant % of their bankroll was really touching. It goes to show just how lovely the Unibet Twitch community really is. 'Tough shit,' said Kat. 'If you're not good enough to win your own ticket, then you're not playing it!' Que sera sera.

This first run out of the promotion was a test to see how our community liked the idea. It turns out they loved it. The sweat of qualifying to an exclusive tournament that couldn’t be directly bought into and the added value in each of the satellite steps made the whole promo really thrilling. We were all railing the final table, and when we found out that (at least) one of the final tablists had secured their career biggest win we were over the moon for them. That in itself made the whole enterprise worthwhile.

We definitely think there’s room to repeat this promotion in the future, maybe even scaling the promotion up and taking more risks with the prizes on offer. If I can twist Kat’s arm a little we’ll run this promotion regularly. Watch this space.
