UCOP Great Players €5,000 Leaderboard

Like streaming your games? Well, there’s good news if you do. An additional €5,000 has been made available for another leaderboard, this time for players who stream their play during the series on Twitch, YouTube or Facebook Live.

100 Great Players Leaderboard points are awarded for each event streamed, with 250 points for the most interesting daily stream. What makes a stream worth watching? Commentary style, quality stream, promotional gimmicks or anything else that contributes to making a stream interesting, that's what.

There’s also a bonus 50 points awarded to players each time they stream from a final table.

If Tweeting, Tweet a link to your stream to @ThrillOfPoker, making your poker alias clearly visible in the stream and accessible worldwide. A recorded stream must be accessible after the event has completed.

Satellite tickets can either be won in UCOP Flip freerolls or at a low cost, after which you have a chance to win your entry to each UCOP Main Event or, of course, you can also buy-in directly.
