Well it's finally here ......the all new, all singing, all dancing Kunkuwap Ambassador Challenge.
We know the community tournament was getting a little tired and things needed spicing up.

Betfair Poker’s very own poker pro, John ‘kunku wap’ Tabatabai, has got together with Betfair Ambassadors Lee Dixon, Michael Vaughan, Will Greenwood and Paul Nicholls to bring you a unique tournament opportunity!

Join John on Wednesdays at 20:00 (UK time) for his weekly “JT’s Ambassador” community tournament. Take on all-comers to win yourself some cash, rise up the league table, and get your hands on some truly unique sporting prizes.

He will also be live commentating each week (link to be posted)

Win the "Arsenal game of their choice" sadly this has come to late - i wanted to watch the game against Man U at old trafford :D

Maybe a bit too much PL Omaha but the rebuys in these should be great fun knowing the crazy hands thrown up. Also like to see turbo and 6 max thrown into the mix but that could come at a later date. Big thumbs up from me, Mrs O is a Gooner so it's a prize well worth playing for. All prizes are extra special BTW.

hope theres a cash alternative cuz i h8 sports(night out clubbin better:P) but new game in its self looks good ,, bring it on:)
Report Steve19 September 12, 2011 7:20 PM BST
perhaps you could swap the 50 points for knocking out kunku to a cash bounty instead? Im could be more likely to knock him out in some situations than getting in top 3 if I was on his table which would make me play silly!

THIS LOT COULDNT RUN A BROTHEL
Report chipfire227 September 13, 2011 10:18 PM BST
I think you will find running a brothel is quite difficult, in part due to the illegality of it, in part due to the unreliability of the staff.

Advertising can be tricky too.

Thinking about it, they probably wouldnt want to run that sort of business.

HTH. [;)]
Report BURDZOG September 13, 2011 10:45 PM BST
in a brothel my understanding is that the customer does the shafting.From my experience this runs counter to the betfair poker business model

Report annie. September 14, 2011 7:20 PM BST
So, betfair, you said that you will give a cash prize if anyone does not want the tickets - so that means you will give them £1150?

I am still not sure about those tickets.  Does this mean that you get two tickets for yourself and have to join kunkuwap at these events, or do you join Nicholls, greenwood etc at their respective events or do you just go on your own?
Report annie. September 14, 2011 7:22 PM BST
Sorry, that should read that the cash prize you give them would be £1450 - being the difference between the weekly 250 you have saved and the other place money  Happy
Report Ovalman. September 14, 2011 7:50 PM BST
I feel it's a great set of prizes, you can't please everyone. If you're not happy then don't play imo.

As usual I'll be 10-30 mins late into this game.
Report chipfire227 September 14, 2011 10:23 PM BST
Pretty sure it used to be $250 added each week not £250 so those who are complaining despite not even playing the thing, might want to have a 3rd attempt at the maths. [;)]
Report annie. September 14, 2011 11:50 PM BST
Sorry, I read the previous post as saying it was £250.  I play on ipoker in pounds so forget that betfair only deals in $  Sad
