$5k Freeroll Launches Global Poker’s Eagle Cup Series

The Global Poker Eagle Cup returns for its second running, a $5000 freeroll getting the action started in the SC$750,000, 135 Championship tournament series, which is likely to attract record numbers if previous events are anything to go by…

The news is that the freeroll is open to all, you don’t even need to purchase the usual Gold Coins to take part, just get yourself an account and you’re set to go apparently – a deep run and good cash offering you the chance to play the rest of the series effectively for free too.

One of the biggest extras that Global Poker focus on is the community aspect of the site, and the Global Poker Champions Pack and Hometown Heroes campaign are both designed to make you feel more than just a number on the site.

Global Poker Champions Pack

Celebration of victories is the key to this one, Global Poker sending every winner a specially-engraved trophy carrying your name and the tournament you won, with some extra GP goodies thrown in for good measure. Added value with the personal touch is the best way to describe it.

Hometown Heroes campaign

Once you’ve got your Global Poker swag, there’s a good chance it’ll bring you even more prizes – as David ‘ruetama’ Moses found out after posing in his Global Poker gear after winning a WSOP Circuit Event in North Carolina, the South Carolina player scoring a bonus $1,000 $weeps Cash just for doing it all in Global Poker colours.

Grab a pic of yourself wandering around your town or playing a poker tournament, and you’re in with a shout of joining David in the money.

The Eagle Cup Main Event

There will be 21 days of non-stop tournament play on the schedule, but the Main Event will obviously take centre stage – and Global Poker have promised more about that closer to the time, although we do know the prizefund will be 4 times more than last year’s biggie - $100k Guaranteed this time around.

In the meantime, the $5k Freeroll (Sunday, September 30th) is the place to be, and you can register over at GlobalPoker.com today.
