From November 17, Phenom Poker is changing the terms of its regular Grind Prix cash game race: there will now be several leaderboards, and the rake requirements for participation have been removed.

Leaderboards are divided by stakes and format, with separate leaderboards for Fixed Limit games. No registration is required: all Phenom Poker players can participate.

NLH and PLO:

  • Micro / Low: up to $2/$4
  • Medium: from $2/$4 to $25/$50
  • High: $25/$50 and above

Fixed Limit:

  • Micro / Low: up to $8/$16
  • Medium: from $8/$16 to $100/$200
  • High: $100/$200 and above

Players earn one leaderboard point for every $0.02 in rake. The scoring period runs from Monday at 00:00 GMT to the following Sunday at 23:59 GMT. Cash tables at all stakes count, except heads-up tables.

The payout structure depends on the number of participants. The prize pool is split into two parts: 80% goes to this week’s top players, while 20% is added to next week’s guarantee.
