Tonybet To Launch Run It Twice Tourneys

New tournament format expands existing OFC poker offer

Poker pro Tony Guoga's TonyBet operation is hyping its soon-to-launch Run It Twice tournaments with a tongue-in-cheek reference to Phil Galfond's new poker site named "Run It Once".
Tony G's recreational player focus is the inspiration behind the Run It Twice poker tournament format, previously only available as a function in live cash games.
"A lot of our players love live poker, which is why we are excited to head in this direction. We always think about how fun the game will be when we start to develop a new product, because we don't want online poker to become a game of click-a-button," Warren Lush, spokesperson for TonyBet, said. "The introduction of a safe and convenient OFC poker experience online was a huge success, and we feel ready to advance with the unique Run it Twice tournaments."
TonyBet will launch daily Run it Twice tournaments from the middle of September 2016, and at the end of the same month, the poker room is introducing a Run it Twice freeroll festival with a guaranteed Euro 15 000 prize pool.

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
