U.S. PocketFives members can battle for a new iPad in a special freeroll on FaceUp Gaming on Saturday, June 9 at 1:00pm ET. The tournament is completely free to enter and is dubbed the Battle of the Bloggers because it pits PocketFives members against players from Alcanthang, Ante Up, and Pokerati. FaceUp Gaming is a subscription-based site, but no credit card or deposit of any kind is required to play in this tournament.The highest finishing player coming from PocketFives will get a new iPad. Just beat out other members of the PocketFives community who play and the Apple device will be awarded to you. We don't anticipate a huge turnout, so your chances of winning an iPad shouldn't be too low. Plus, one of these puppies is guaranteed to go to a member of PocketFives.
Just sign up through PocketFives, look for the freeroll called "Bloggers Only" on Saturday, and use the password "BATTLE". U.S. players are welcome. Click here to sign up through PocketFives. You must be tagged to our site in order to play, and you can use the bonus code P5.
There's more than just an iPad at stake. The overall winner of the Battle of the Bloggers tournament will get a five-day Bahamas poker cruise for two from Ante Up Poker Cruises, which should be a hoot for the winner and their friend. If a PocketFives member wins the cruise, then the next highest finisher from PocketFives will earn the iPad, as there's a limit of one prize per person.
The fact that this is a freeroll that doesn't require any credit card registration should be particularly appealing. So, register now for your chance at a guaranteed new iPad for one PocketFives member as well as a five-day poker cruise by clicking over to FaceUp Gaming and signing up before the freeroll starts on Saturday, June 9 at 1:00pm ET. Again, the password to get in is "BATTLE".
