GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week
GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week

The 2021 GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week continues with another five-figure price tag and will certainly attract some of the biggest names in the world of poker. At 7 p.m. UTC, Event #17: $10,300 High Roller will kick off. The weekday of GGPoker's flagship Super MILLION$ tournament comes with a guarantee of $1,000,000.

All players will receive 100,000 in chips, which represents 200 big blinds in the first level at 200-500 with a running ante of 60. The levels will last 15 minutes each until the nine-handed final table has been determined. By then, the money bubble will have burst and gameplay switches to a fixed number of hands for each level.

The late registration lasts for five hours until midnight UTC, which should be in or close to level 18. Unlimited re-entries are allowed until then.

Among the early entrants half an hour prior to the start are familiar faces such as Aleksejs Ponakovs, Andrii Novak, Jans Arends, Bruno Volkmann, Simon Higgins, Kristen Bicknell, Niklas Astedt, and Mike Watson. Many others are expected to join them in their bid to claim a six-figure payday.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be there from start to finish for this one-day event.
