Noble Poker Unveils Its “Step” Tournament Variation

One of the most popular poker tournament options online is Party Poker’s "Step Challenge", whereby players can parlay a single, small Sit-and-Go (S&G) buy-in into a hefty cash prize by working their way up a five step ladder. The Gaming Club has also had success with its "Rounders" tournaments, a similar five tourney ladder. The latest online poker room to enter the S&G challenge fray is the young Noble Poker with the "Maui – Jackpot Sit ‘N’ Go" promotion.

In the "Maui – Jackpot Sit ‘N’ Go" competition, anyone who wins five consecutive S&G’s at the "Maui" table wins $15,000. Anyone who comes in first or second in five consecutive matches wins $200. It’s that simple.

No upwards progression in the buy-in levels. No free entries into the next or previous steps like at the other poker rooms. Each tournament has a $5 buy-in, plus a $0.50 fee, and the entrant must pay this every time.

And, unlike the "steps" variations at other poker rooms, participants still win the standard payouts for first, second, and third place in each S&G. Thus, this can be an excellent opportunity for those who enjoy playing low buy-in S&G’s to aim for an additional, lucrative bonus.

Complete details and rules can be found at Noble Poker’s website.
