We've said it before and we'll probably say it again: Andre "acoimbra" Coimbra is one crazy kid. He's done prop bets, sleep deprivation and ridiculous spin-ups*, so what now? He's giving away 10% of his UKIPT Isle of Man Main Event winnings and all you need to do is guess how well (or badly) he's doing on his current $100 to $100,000 challenge. That's a chunk of a proven winner in a big field £1,100 buy-in event for free!
*It's the current charity spin up that you need to rule on.
At the start of the year the Team PokerStars Online member stripped himself of his Supernova status and his entire bankroll to see if he could turn $100 into $100,000 playing online tournaments. We've not going to give the game away but we can tell you that ten months in he's not bust. Here's what you need to do to get 10% of his winnings - which could be a lot in a £500,000 guaranteed tournament - you need to tweet how many dollars you think acoimbra has got in his bankroll at noon on Monday, 28 October.
Entry details
1. Just tweet your guess and your PokerStars ID along with - this bit is important! - the #Coimbra10 hashtag to enter.
2. The competition shuts at 23.59 ET this Friday night (25 October).
3. You need to have a valid PokerStars.com account and live in a jurisdiction that allows real money play.
Coimbra posts strategy video and blogs at acoimbra.com. Also, keep your eyes open for a tweet from @PSTeamOnline because one Mr Ike Haxton, also a member of Team PokerStars Online, will also be putting a 10% slice of his tournament equity up for grabs. Not to be missed.
Play the UKIPT Isle of Man!
There's still time to qualify for the event and it's promising to be a lot of fun (not just the £500,000 guaranteed event). The home of PokerStars HQ is going to roll out the red carpet so it's certainly worth looking at this Sunday's MEGA QUALIFIER which has 10 seats added. That's a bonus £11,000. It's tournament #804587677.
