Yet another online tournament festival kicks off for New Jersey players, culminating in a $75,000 guaranteed event this Sunday, October 18.
GGPoker launches a bounty-exclusive tournament series with tournament fees capped to 5%.
Following the alleged use of real-time assistance tools by a high-profile player, GGPoker bans 40 accounts and compensates thousands of affected players with a share of $1.175 million confiscated funds.
Taking place mid-October, both series combine to give nearly $1.5 million in guarantees.
So far, the PGCB does not have a soft launch for WSOP/888 scheduled.
Returning for its fifth iteration, the NJCOOP 2020 guarantees $1 million culminating in a $125,000 guaranteed Main Event.
While the rest of industry suffers a downward trend to near pre-pandemic levels, GGPoker remains the only operator to ride a surge of momentum.
An increase in the maximum amount of cashback, weekly payouts and the inclusion of casino bets are just some of the changes.
The $500k guaranteed GGMasters is also on the schedule along with new daily lower buy-in versions of the marquee event and a High Roller version which is set to debut Sunday.
New Jersey players can receive up to $1000 in tournament dollars if they play at least 10 tournaments in the ongoing WPT Borgata online series hosted on the partypoker US network.
Due to popular demand, the operator’s premiere freezeout tournament gets an upgrade and now comes with a buy-in of $25.
