It’s back! For the fourth straight month, HogWild Poker, a free, U.S.-friendly online poker room, is holding an exclusive league for members of PocketFives. This time around, $250 in cash, 150,000 Hog Bucks, PocketFives Gear, and a brand new HDTV will be on the line, and every single league event is free. If you’re from the United States and itching to play poker, here’s your big chance to do so with nothing to lose. Who knows? Maybe you’ll win money or a new TV just for playing.

The HogWild Poker PocketFives League will once again hold its events on Tuesday nights on May 1st, May 8th, May 15th, and May 22nd. There is no cost to enter any event, and each one is open to U.S. players. Where you finish in each league tournament will determine your standing on an overall leaderboard. Sign up for the league.

At the conclusion of the May 22nd tournament, HogWild Poker will dish out prizes including cash, PocketFives Gear, and Hog Bucks to the top 10 players on the leaderboard as follows:

1st Place: $150 cash
2nd Place: $50 cash + PocketFives t-shirt
3rd Place: $30 cash + PocketFives t-shirt
4th Place: $20 cash + PocketFives t-shirt
5th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks
6th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks
7th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks
8th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks
9th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks
10th Place: 25,000 Hog Bucks

We mentioned that we’re also giving away a brand new HDTV. Similar to what occurred in April, we’ll be awarding an HDTV as part of a special tournament on Tuesday, May 29th. The tournament won’t count toward the May league standings; rather, it will be a special event that ships an HDTV to the winner.

We gave away a 32″ Westinghouse LED HDTV in April in a special HogWild Poker tournament held at the end of the month, and we’re looking forward to a healthy-sized field once again. This event is completely free to play, which means it will provide a ton of value to anyone who enters. We’ll also post a reminder about it as it draws closer in case you forget.

Shawn PokerRoman1 Murphy took down the April HogWild Poker PocketFives league and won a brand new PlayStation Vita. He’s a New York City resident who has been a member of PocketFives for the last four years. Murphy was elated to take home the newest gaming console from PlayStation, which we gave away to the top two finishers.

Murphy posted on PocketFives, “I said in March that I was going to win the April HWP P5s League and the PlayStation Vita and I won the April HWP P5s League and the PlayStation Vita.” Nice job, Babe Ruth.

Here’s a look at the top five finishers from April. They’ll now compete in a $500 cash-added Top Hog tournament:

1st Place: PokerRoman1
2nd Place: xxbossmanxx
3rd Place: Martin Brody
4th Place: Alewife1
5th Place: sweetdog22

The second place finisher in April’s PocketFives HogWild Poker League, xxbossmanxx on PocketFives, told the community that he was pumped to win a PlayStation: “I set out to do it and did it! Nice to see poker has not passed me by since I had not played any tourneys for over a year. Thank you P5s for the league and a new Vita!” Our runner-up hails from Detroit and joined PocketFives way back in 2007.

Other comments about HogWild Poker’s software and the April league were as follows:

“It was nice to play a semi-real game online again. Thanks for running, P5s.”

“Had a great time and will definitely be making a regular appearance.”

“I thought it was kind of a cool feature to be able to see when opponents checked their cards. Looking forward to being a regular participant in this league. Thanks P5s for helping us U.S.-based players be able to play a little poker on the interwebs!”
