The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker II will start on Wednesday, November 30th!

At the end of the 25 weeks whoever is 1st on the leaderboard will win a Poker Stars $215 buy in No Limit Hold'em tournament on Sunday, May 21st, 2006. They usually pay about $140,000 for 1st place! He will keep half of any money he wins in that tournament & the other remaining 8 players on the leaderboard after him will split the remaining 50%. He would then just transfer what the 8 have coming to their Poker Stars accounts.

There will be a final table tournament at the end of the 25 weeks for the top 9 on the leaderboard with a $55 buy in. The winner of that final table will be The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker II Champion and will go on to play in a $1,500 buy in No Limit tournament at the WSOP.

What will be taken out each week ($69) for the Poker Stars $215 buy in tournament and the WSOP $1,500 buy in tournament would break down as:

1st Place - $33
2nd Place - $23
3rd Place - $13

That comes to $1,725 & the leaderboard winner will make an extra $10. Winners would transfer or mail me out a check for what they owe each week. The buy in will remain the same as we had for the last The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker I which is $22 a tournament.

The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker II is only open to current members.

As we have in the past, Greg, Jay & myself will be running The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker II.

The link to The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker II Web site I set up with all of the rules is at the bottom of this post. The complete schedule can be found there.

Below is the scan of (shown front and back) The Chip Board King of Poker Championships and The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker tournament chip!

There were only 100 chips made as indicated on the chip (LTD 100) and they have engraved numbers.

The ONLY way to get one of them will be to win a The Chip Board King of Poker Championships or a The Chip Board Road to the World Series of Poker tournament on Poker Stars. When you do, you can buy one for $5 postage included. If you win a 2nd tournament you can buy a 2nd chip and that will be the limit per person. When you do win a tournament and buy a chip you will have your choice of the remaining numbers. Since there is a limit of two and most who get them will want to display the chip front & back, I doubt there will be many, if any, for trade down the road. So, those of you who have been thinking about playing in the tournaments with us should give it a shot on Wednesday nights and give yourself a chance to get one of these chips. Andy - Las Vegas
