Join the The Beast rake race on PokerKing!
The weekly The Beast race is for all cash game players at 6-max and 9-max tables. Please note that heads-up tables do not count towards the race.
The race starts every Saturday at 00:00 ET and runs until 23:59 ET the following Friday.
Formation of the prize pool for The Beast race
The prize pool for the race is formed from the rake collected from each hand. There is no additional fee for participating in the race.
The prize pool contribution depends on the number of players at the table:
2 players - $0.02 of $0.06 rake (maximum $0.04 per hand).
3 players - $0.02 of $0.06 rake (maximum $0.08 per hand).
4 players or more - $0.02 of $0.06 rake (maximum $0.24 per hand).
The Beast Race Points Accrual
Players earn points for each rake contribution. For every $0.02 Weighted Contributed Rake, 1 point is awarded.
Example:
At a 9-max table with blinds $0.5/$1, preflop 5 players folded and 4 players bet 1 big blind ($1). On the flop, the first player moved all-in for $50, the second and third folded, and the fourth called $50.
The final pot was $104. The rake was $3, of which $2.76 is counted as regular rake and $0.24 goes to the prize pool for "The Beast".
The system automatically calculates each player's points:
First player - 5.25 points
Second player - 0.75 points
Third player - 0.75 points
Fourth player - 5.25 points
