- Global Millions guarantees $1 million with a $100 buy-in.
- The High Roller Millions guarantees $2 million with a $500 buy-in.
- No operator has quite stretched the phased tournament format like GGPoker has with this new MTT triplet.
- A total of 80 Day 1 phases are spread seven days a week.
- Players can enter as many Day 1s as they like but can only take their largest stack to the final day.
Online poker network GGPoker continues its rapid expansion and ambitious, headline-grabbing announcements with a trio of new weekly tournaments, collectively known as the Multi Millions, which add over $3 million to the weekly guaranteed tournament schedule.
As first reported on pokerfuse earlier this week, The “Global MILLION$,” as it is stylized, guarantees $1 million for a buy-in of $100. the High Roller MILLION$ guarantees $2 million with a buy-in of $500.
The set is rounded out with the Chinese Yuan-denominated Zodiac MILLION$, which is scheduled to run in the evenings in China. It has a buy-in of ¥500 ($70) and guarantees ¥1 million ($140,000).
These top-line figures are quite staggering. The Global Millions sits alongside the largest tournaments anywhere in online poker, matching in terms of both buy-in and guarantee the PokerStars Sunday Million. It is the same guarantee as Partypoker Million, with half the buy-in.
The High Roller is perhaps even more audacious: No other operator runs a $2 million-guaranteed tournament regularly at any buy-in level. One needs to look back more than a decade to a pre-Black Friday PokerStars for a regular weekly tournament of this size.
