Top 250 June: karmolll In The Lead, opal Third
The first week of our Top 250 and Top Ten Jackpot promotions is done, with karmolll surpassing Cakara and the last month's winner, opal99.
Another month, another set of promotions: both the Top 250 and the Top Ten Jackpot promos are back and with them, so are the results for the first week of June.
The Top Ten Jackpot promotion addresses the best 10 players from each community, as they are racing for $1,750 and the Jackpot built by all communities over a period of 3 months, from May to July.
While last month was simply dominated by Slovakia, represented by opal99 and
thelastnail, another contender has risen this month.
karmolll is the first on our leaderboard in this first week of June, as he managed to accumulate 8,768 StrategyPoints so far.
Ranked second is the latest one on the Diamond Interview Series, cakara, who is dangerously close to this week's leader, having 8,639 StrategyPoints at the moment. Let's see next week if he will be able to take the lead in our rankings.
The third place for this week belongs to the last month's winner, opal99, who is quite behind in terms of points compared to the top two players: 5,533 points have ensured his 3rd rank for now, but he will have to get more points if he still wants to be in the top.
Let's take a look and see which are our best 10 players so far in June:

In June, the best 10 PokerStrategists from our community will play to get a share of the $1,750 prize pool.
In case one of our community members has managed to be both amongst the best 250 players of the TOP250 promotion
and the Top Ten Jackpot promotion, he or she will receive the
higher prize of the two. The lower prize will go into our international
jackpot.
Below you can see the detailed payout structure for the Top Ten prize pool:

The TOP Ten Jackpot Promotion will take place in all of our 14
communities and will be repeated also in June and July. The money which has gone into the jackpot in May, June and July will then be divided among the winners. The more players manage to finish within both the TOP 10 of
their respective community and the overall TOP 250, the bigger the
international jackpot will be.
Example: At the end of our Top Ten Jackpot promotion in March the jackpot was $6,800. If this amount will be collected as well in the months of May, June and July, the overall jackpot would be an astonishing $20,400!
After the end of the promotion we will have a lottery. Every
member
who has collected at least 3,000 StrategyPoints during one month
qualifies for lottery tickets, no matter if he is in one of
our TOP promotions or not.
Members who collect at least 3,000
StrategyPoints during one month will get one lottery ticket each, while members who collect
at least 7,500 StrategyPoints during one month will get two lottery tickets each.
Thereby, you will simultaneously reach the Platinum or Diamond status
respectively.
Example: If you collect 3,000 SP in May, 7500 SP in June and 3000 SP in July you will get a total of 4 tickets for the lottery.
5 of the lottery ticket holders will get their share of the
jackpot: 30% will go to number 1, 25% to number 2, 20% to number 3, 15% to number 4 and the remaining 10%
to number 5.
