The magic of cup competitions comes from the big teams against the small. When those cold January weekends get lit up by a minnow knocking out a top flight team. The motivation level seems to close the skill gap for some of the teams - Wrexham played out of their skin to beat Arsenal, Mansfield did alright against Liverpool I suppose, etc. The little guys like gunning for the big boys.
And so, we have this tournament for you. It's a bit of fun and hopefully will see the big boys rise to the challenge of the rest gunning for them as well as the minnows trying to David the Goliaths....
The Giant Killer MTT - Tuesday 26th February, 7.45pm.
- ALL 64 players who entered the Sky Poker Football Cup of Poker have been put into the Giant Killer MTT, a £200 Freeroll with a twist.
- There is no prizepool in the traditional sense. All of that £200 is on your heads as bounties. Not any ordinary bounty though.
- The bounties have been awarded based on the size of the team you chose. Football is such a subjective thing, so we have decided to use capacity size to decide which teams are bigger than others. Don't even get started on that argument, this is all fun!
- If you knock a player out, you keep the ENTIRE 100% of that bounty prize. None of it goes on your own head. It means the minnows will go mental at the big guys, while the players representing the top sides will need to rise to the challenge.
- Here is the complete list of players and the bounties they'll have on their heads this Tuesday:

It's something different and hopefully you'll all enjoy it. I think it will give you all a decent shout at taking a few quid away from it, too. Of course, I know this time and date won't work for all of you, but please do try to make it and give the others a fair crack at winning the bounties
Thanks a lot for making the first Football Cup of Poker such a success!
Yep, cheers Blandy....sounds like fun. For those who carnt make it or are away for any reason, it will be carnage when they are all in later on in the game.
This could be the only tournament that Liverpool do well in this season!

Firstly well done to both finalists on what seems like a great game worthy of a final. Congrats Bighawk on winning. Thanks to Sky Dave for organising and also on the BH comp on tuesday. Sounds great fun.
Look forward to this. Fair enough on the way the bounties are distributed, I was about to say that there are two club two divisions higher than Boston atm with smaller bounties than them but I understand why you have done it that way!
i'll have to be careful with my bounty being so big or i could loose my chips quickly. the head prize should have been based on last time a trophy was won by the team then i'd have a rubbish bounty so feel safer. lol
