Late registration for Day 2 is still open for the two Sunday flagship anniversary tournaments going head-to-head and the participation is still ticking. The turnout for Day 1’s are locked in and both GGPoker and PokerStars should be quite pleased as their respective events are quite close to their ambitious targets.
Between the two individual events, a massive $15 million was guaranteed in this GGPoker vs PokerStars anniversary smackdown for a total buy-in of just $375, making March 20 one of the biggest and most valuable Sundays in recent history.
While GGMasters with its ambitious $5 million guarantee was designed to overlay, PokerStars’ $10 million Sunday Million anniversary event, which looked very much achievable at the time of the announcement, all of a sudden became quite challenging following the operator’s exit from Russia — one of the biggest online poker markets in the world.
It was well-expected that both the events would fall short of their guarantees by a large margin and create a big hole in both the operators’ pockets, but the dust has settled and the numbers are far from daunting.
