Players have to opt in for either of the bonuses and cannot go for both. Betfair will be giving away $125,000 in the Points Chase.The second promotion is a Sit n Go 5 a Side Special. Win five Sit n Goes at any buy-in on a single day between today and 11th July and you will gain a seat in a $10,000 guaranteed tournament on Wednesday 14th July. Rather than grabbing a cup of tea and a biscuit, players can now get some tournament action in during half time of every World Cup match. The top ten finishers in each ultra turbo event will get a seat in the $10,000 guaranteed Closing Ceremony tournament on Monday 12th July. Tournaments will have starting stacks of 300 chips and one minute blinds ensuring a quick finish.$10,000 will also be given away in a special closing ceremony tournament on 12th July.
