A Powerful 75 Bet

Scott Long of @AnteUpMagazine decides he needs to get a decent postflop bet out, so he grabs three black chips and fires them into the pot, a 300 bet, or did he?

Here at The 101 Casino, the 25 chips are black, so Scott bet STRONG a powerful, scary 75 bet, but the other player did lay it down.

Cards in the Air

We're off @The101casino with Event 2 of #NBPO, the $160 Progressive bounty as part of the @anteupmagazine Poker Tour series.

Come take down the bounties, challenge Scott Long, the publisher of Ante Up Magazine, take his bounty too, and have a great night here in the tournament.

Just don't even THINK of leaving, though, without ordering a bread pudding for dessert, just trust me on thsi one.

Play Our Progressive Bounty Tonight

Event 2 of @The101Casino #NBPO as part of the @anteupmagazine Poker Tour kicks off at 6pm tonight, our $160 Progressive Bounty tournament.

Players start off with 10,000 chipstacks, play 20-minute levels (the final table jumps up to 30-minute levels) and there is a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool tonight.

So, just what IS a progressive bounty tourney? Each player begins with TWO $20 bounty chips. When you eliminate a player, you get all of their bounty chips, and one bounty chip is added onto your head. The remaining bounty chips are cashed out right then so you 'win' that additional money.

The bounty on your head increases each time you knock out another player, but extra bounties you win go straight into your bankroll, you know, for you to buy in to the Ante Up Poker Tour Main Event and more!
