Poker action at the live felts may be temporarily off for now due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but players still have one more option to satisfy their cravings – take part in online tournaments!
The action will resume online with a number of operators now launching their respective tournaments, guaranteeing massive prizes!
GGPoker is running a special High Rollers Week, which started from March 22 and will run till March 29, with at least $9 million up for grabs!
The online festival will feature around 96 events, each coming with a guaranteed prize pool of at least $75,000 all the way up to $500,000. Among the highlights are three high roller tournaments taking place daily, featuring buy-ins of $210, $500, and $1,000. Prizes on offer range from $75,000 to $200,000. These daily tournaments will all feed into a Sunday final.
Apart from this, the schedule also includes a number of special Phased MTTs each offering at least $500,000 in guarantees.
If you can’t afford the entry fees, GGPoker is still giving you the chance to take part by participating in online satellites with thousands of seats up for grabs. You can potentially turn your small investment into a life-changing prize!
GG Masters
Massive value is also on offer at the GG Masters, which now carries a guaranteed prize pool of $400,000. The $150 buy-in freezeout tournament originally featured $300,000 in guarantees.
The GG Masters is also one way for you to earn Player of the Year points – you just need to finish in the money to get points, for a chance to win fantastic prizes by the end of the year!
If you end up being at the top of the leaderboard when the year closes, you will be awarded a GG Poker sponsorship package worth around $500,000. The 2nd – 20th places will each get free entry to all GG Masters tournaments to be held in 2021. If the buy-in stays at $150, the package is valued at $7,800! There are online satellites running 24/7, so you can take a shot, using various deposit methods regardless of your bankroll.
COVID-19 Fundraising
As the world struggles to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, GGPoker is doing its share by donating 0.5% of the prize pools from High Roller Week to charities and those working on the frontline to help curb the spread of the virus. The total amount raised will be matched by GGPoker.
