GGPoker announces $250m guaranteed in World Festival Tournament Series

GGPoker has confirmed a total of $250m in guaranteed prizes in its upcoming World Festival Tournament Series.

The online World Festival Tournament Series will start on 5 May and run until 11 June.

Players will have four tiers of buy-ins available for the different tournaments hosted throughout， from $2.50 up to $1050， excluding the buy-in.

Additionally， there will be a variety of satellite opportunities for players to win their way into bigger tournaments.

Daniel Negreanu， GGPoker Global Ambassador， said: “Let the festivities begin on May 5 as we continue our tradition of revolutionising poker year-on-year!

“We made history in 2023， and now， with $50m in additional prize guarantees， the GGPoker World Festival is bigger and better than ever!”

The 2023 series totalled $200m in prize pool guarantees.

Aside from the $250m guaranteed， players will also get to compete for a share of $2.5m in the GGPoker leaderboard.

This will be split between the buy-in tiers mentioned previously，slots with $250，000 shared amongst the Low Tier leaderboard winners， $500，000 for the Medium Tier， $750，000 for the High Tier and $1m between the Super Tier leaderboard winners.

GGPoker will release the full schedule of the tournament closer to the time.

Until then， GGPoker players can prepare for the upcoming Spin & Gold ELO Challenge hosted on the platform. 

Rather than poker， the operator is trying something a little different with a $50，000 chess challenge.
