Starting April 15, final Beta players at Virtue Poker now have a chance to win an entry into a single-table tournament with poker legend Phil Ivey for a share of $12,000 plus bragging rights.
 

How to Win Your Seat

There are two ways you can claim a seat at Ivey’s Table:

• The Short Deck Leaderboard. Play Short Deck Sit & Go tournaments and earn points for finishing first or second. The top three players on the Short Deck Leaderboard at the end of the promotion each win seats at Ivey’s Table. You must play at least 200 Sit & Go tournaments to qualify.
• Random drawings. We will hold a random drawing at the end of the promotion for the remaining two seats. You can earn entries as follows:
  - One entry for playing your first Sit & Go
  - One entry for every 100 Sit & Go tournaments you play
  - One entry for retweeting the Ivey’s Table announcement tweet
   

Prizes

The five winners will be entered in a special Short Deck Sit & Go tournament; the sixth player is Phil Ivey. Beyond bragging rights, here’s what they will play for:

1st: $5,000
2nd: $3,500
3rd: $2,500
4th: $1,000
5th: $500

Note: Ivey’s standing will be removed and other players will be promoted, so, for example, if Ivey finishes 4th, then 5th place receives $1,000 and 6th place receives $500.
 

The I Busted Phil bonus: The player who busts Ivey (if anyone does) will receive an additional $1,000 bonus, plus a personal Twitter shout-out from Phil congratulating the player. If the player who busts Ivey also wins the Sit & Go, that player will receive an additional bonus of $1,000, making the potential top prize $7,000.
 

Ivey’s Table begins on Wednesday, April 15 and runs through Sunday, May 24. The Final Table will be on June 7 at 1700 UTC. We will post Tournament Rules and full details on Tuesday, April 14.
