The William Hill raked hands races got a lot of positive feedback from the community, so we're teaming up to bring you three more races, where a total of $36,300 is at stake.
What's better, the races are divided into four major levels: micro, small, mid and high. That means that everyone has a chance to win, no matter which stakes you play.

The races will be held on the following dates:
Race Week 4: August 15 - 21

What is a raked hands race?
In a raked hands race, you compete with fellow PokerStrategists for the highest number of raked hands you played in cash games during the race period.
A raked hand is defined as a hand where you are in the pot (e.g. by posting a blind, calling or raising) and where rake is taken by the poker room.
If you want to take part in these races, you need a William Hill account created via PokerStrategy.com. If you don't have one yet, create one now and we'll also give you a first deposit bonus of 200% up to $2,000.
