The Road to WSOPC returns to No Big Deal Poker today, 28 July, with a new eight heat leaderboard season and another major live poker prize waiting for the eventual winner.
The Season 2 champion will receive a WSOP Circuit Main Event seat worth $1,500 and can choose which eligible WSOPC Main Event in Europe they want to play.
Season 2 begins at 20:00 CET tonight, with further heats running every Tuesday and Thursday until 20 August. The top 18 players on the final leaderboard will then advance to the Season 2 finale on 25 August.
The final also marks the start of WSOPC Season 3.

How the Leaderboard Works
Players earn leaderboard points according to their finishing position in each heat.
| Finish | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 11 |
| 2nd | 9 |
| 3rd | 8 |
| 4th | 7 |
| 5th | 6 |
| 6th | 5 |
| 7th | 4 |
| 8th | 3 |
| 9th | 2 |
Every player who participates in a heat receives at least one leaderboard point.
After all eight heats have been completed, the top 18 players on the Season 2 leaderboard will qualify for the finale.
Consistency will therefore matter throughout the season. A tournament win can quickly move a player towards the top of the standings, but regular participation and repeated final table finishes could prove just as important when the final leaderboard is calculated.
Choose Your WSOP Circuit Destination
The Season 2 winner will not be locked into one predetermined event. Instead, the champion can choose an eligible WSOP Circuit Main Event in Europe, with the seat valued at up to $1,500.
It is another opportunity for the No Big Deal Poker community to turn play money poker into a genuine live poker experience on the WSOP Circuit.
The first heat begins tonight at 20:00 CET.
