The Return of GGPoker World Festival: An Unprecedented Online Poker Tournament Series

Get ready for the exciting return of the GGPoker World Festival, the record-breaking online poker tournament series that will take the poker world by storm once again. Starting from Sunday, May 5 and running through Tuesday, June 11, this highly-anticipated event is set to captivate players from all around the globe.

Last year’s series was a massive success, with an astounding $200 million in prize pool guarantees. However, this year promises to be even bigger, as GGPoker raises the stakes with an unprecedented $250 million in guaranteed prizes. Players can expect a thrilling and diverse array of tournaments across four buy-in tiers, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their skill level, can find events suited to their preferences.

Four Tiers for All-Level Players

The GGPoker World Festival boasts tournaments across four buy-in tiers:

  • Low Tier ($2.50+ buy-in)
  • Medium Tier ($25+ buy-in)
  • High Tier ($150+ buy-in)
  • Super Tier ($1,050+ buy-in)

Whether you’re a casual player or a seasoned pro, there’s a tier for you to test your skills and compete for incredible prizes.

But that’s not all. Participating players will also have the opportunity to qualify for festival events by entering satellite tournaments that will run throughout the series. This means that even those with a smaller bankroll can have a chance to participate in the action and potentially claim their share of the massive prize pool.

A Tournament Leaderboard with Extra Prizes

In addition to the jaw-dropping prize pool, players will also have the chance to compete for a share of $2.5 million in extra prizes through the GGPoker World Festival tournament leaderboard.

  • Medium Tier leaderboard: $500,000
  • High Tier leaderboard: $750,000
