World’s leading online poker network GGPoker has introduced yet another brand new tournament series that caters to its low-stakes players.
Called microFestival, the series is scheduled to run from June 4 and will span the next three weeks. The opening days of the festival will overlap with the ongoing GGPoker World Festival, which guarantees a record-setting $200 million in prize money.
The operator is billing the new microFestival as “the world’s biggest micro-series” with $10 million guaranteed prize money. It will be the operator’s second tournament series dedicated to its micro and low-stakes players this year.
It is marketed as a series with buy-ins ranging from $1.88 and going up to $25, featuring 162 numbered events, with many of these split into multiple variants. The standout event on the schedule is the Mystery Bounty Main Event, promising $1 million for a buy-in of $10.80. It will feature dozens of Day 1s leading to Day 2 on June 25, where the mystery bounty kicks in.
“Poker is not just about the pressure-filled, high-stakes games we see on TV — it’s a game for everyone, no matter the size of your bankroll,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker in a press release. “Our new microFestival ensures there are tournaments for every single player in the worldwide poker community, with buy-ins from just $1 and juicy guarantees to boot!”
