The Golden Poker Series has some of the nicest poker shirts we have come across with their iconic lion logo. Players in the Main Event will be given unlimited chances to get one for themselves as it was just announced that any player that has a full house or better using both of their hole cards will be awarded one.
This is just one of the many value-added promotions the Golden Poker Series has added to what has thus far been an amazing festival.

Welcome to Day 1c of the Golden Million Main Event featuring a mouth-watering €1 million guaranteed prize pool at Noah's Ark Deluxe Hotel and Spa. The festival has attracted players from all around the globe including Europe, Asia, North America, and South America.
The structure is one of the deepest players can find anywhere in Europe, especially at the €800 price point. Many players already got in much cheaper via live satellites or through promotions with the festival's partners PPPoker, Neverlose Poker, and J88 Poker.
Players start off with a big stack of 80,000 in chips during each of the five opening flights on Nov. 26-30. Those looking for a little more can add another 20,000 in chips to bring their total stack up to 100,000 for €40. The add-on also acts as bubble insurance with players getting their buy-ins back if they are one spot away from a cash.
The first four opening flights feature 45-minute blind levels while the final flight is a turbo-affair with 20-minute blind levels. Players can reenter an unlimited amount of times during the 12 blind levels late registration window during each opening flight.
Each opening flight features its own bubble with 15 percent of each starting flight already cashing in the tournament. Each flight will end at different times as play will end when the field is down to 10 percent of the field.
Players bagging chips will enjoy a deeper structure as blinds increase to one hour in length on Day 2 on Nov. 30 before increasing again to 90-minute blind levels for the final two days on Dec. 1-2.
Thus far, Dmitrii Vitugin is the chip leader heading into Day 2 after bagging a stack of 2,158,000 in chips. Will someone bag more chips on Day 1c? Time will only tell.
