Merit Poker Announces Gangsters Poker Cup Schedule with Over $1M GTD
Merit Poker's tournament series returns November 14-24 with the Gangsters Poker Cup, which will feature more than 25 events across 11 days and over $1,000,000 in total guarantees. Among the action-packed schedule are two $2,200 Main Events each with a $350,000 guaranteed prize pool.
The previous festival, Merit Poker RETRO 3 with over $2,000,000 GTD set another record in prize payouts, reaching over $3,725,000 and proving once again that Merit Poker events have become extremely popular, especially in recent years under the management of Songül Bekem.
Schedule Highlights
In addition to the two Main Events, other significant tournaments included on the Gangsters Poker Cup schedule are the $800 buy-in Warm Up, the $5,000 buy-in High Roller, both with $125K GTD, a $1,100 Mix-Max with $45K GTD, and a whole range of Bounty events. Apart from the rebuy and add-on (R&A) events, the tournaments are held in the unlimited re-entry format, so there is plenty of time to get back into the action before registration closes.
Gangsters Poker Cup also offers a variety of sit-n-go’s, freerolls and satellites, as well as cash games of various stakes which will be running non-stop during the festival. That means that players with different preferences and bankrolls will find the games that suit them best.
