With the $950K+ Holiday Countdown closing as one of KKPoker’s most popular promotions, the platform wastes no time—rolling directly into the next major celebration packed with fresh action and new online poker promotions: Arena Knockout Championship: KKPoker’s Ultimate K.O. Leaderboard Showdown

KKPoker is introducing the Arena Knockout Championship, a first-ever crossover that combines knockout poker action with the intensity of combat sports. Running from January 3, 2026 (01:00 GMT+1) to January 21, 2026 (01:00 GMT+1), this limited-time promotion features daily K.O. MTTs, double-point weekends, and two competitive leaderboards — Lightweight and Heavyweight.

Players can fight their way up the rankings to claim a share of $2,000 in cash prizes, exclusive in-app Champion Belt trophies, and premium Combat Sports Annual Pass rewards. Every knockout scores points, and only the strongest performers will finish on top.

How the Ultimate Leaderboard works

This is a pure K.O.-focused MTT leaderboard where survival takes a back seat to aggression. Players earn leaderboard points for every knockout, with points accumulating across the entire campaign. Special weekend tournaments award double points, and the final leaderboard standings determine who claims the championship titles.

Points Breakdown

• $5 K.O. MTTs: 10 points per knockout / Saturday specials: double points
• $20 K.O. MTTs: 20 points per knockout / Sunday specials: double points

The formula is simple: play aggressive, score knockouts, and climb faster. 

Two separate EU Leaderboards

It’s fast, aggressive, and built for players who thrive under constant knockout pressure.

Arena Knockout Championship – Entry 1

The $5 Lightweight K.O. MTT Leaderboard is designed for nonstop, high-tempo tournament action. Players earn points by scoring knockouts in $5 buy-in Lightweight K.O. tournaments, with every elimination pushing them higher up the leaderboard.

A total of $500 in prizes is on the line. The champion takes home an in-app Lightweight Champion Belt, $300 in cash, and a Combat Sports Annual Pass, while second place earns $150 and third place collects $50.

Arena Knockout Championship – Entry 2

Bigger buy-ins mean bigger knockouts — and even bigger rewards for players who bring the aggression.

The $20 Heavyweight K.O. MTT Leaderboard is built for players ready to step into higher-stakes knockout battles. By competing in $20 buy-in Heavyweight K.O. tournaments, players earn points for every elimination and climb the rankings throughout the campaign.

With $1,500 in total prizes, the rewards match the intensity. The champion claims an in-app Heavyweight Champion Belt, $800 in cash, and a Combat Sports Annual Pass, while second place earns $400 and third place takes $300. Bigger buy-ins, harder knockouts, and serious rewards define the Heavyweight division.

Schedule

All tournaments start at 19:00 (GMT+1), with Saturday and Sunday events awarding DOUBLE leaderboard points, making weekends the prime time to climb the rankings faster.
