Global Poker Rattlesnake Open Strikes April 30 with $1.25 Million GTD
The next installment of the Global Poker Championships has been announced. The 2018 Rattlesnake Open is set to strike the Global Poker tables on April 30, with 135 Championship Events and $1.25 million in real cash prizes guaranteed over the three-week series.
After successful Eagle Cup and Grizzly Games tournament series, Global Poker is once again bringing a series that promises to not disappoint. The Rattlesnake Open kicks off with a $5,000 Freeroll on Sunday, April 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET, open to all GP players.
Rattlesnake Open Highlights
The SC$218 Main Event with a SC$100,000 guarantee on Sunday, May 20 caps off the series with their first-ever six-figure guarantee. Players will have plenty of opportunities to get in on the action for the Main Event and other events at highly discounted prices through a number of satellites, which start at just SC$0.55.
With three tournament tiers broken down into Low, Medium and High, the Rattlesnake Open offers something for everyone with buy-ins ranging from SC$3.30 to SC$218. Among the variety of tournament formats on the schedule include Full ring, 4-Max, 6-Max Turbos, Deepstacks and their popular Ante Up. Besides no-limit Hold’em, players can get in on Fixed Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha too.
Like the previous editions of the Global Poker Championships, all Sweeps Cash and Gold Coin Championship Events winners will receive Champions Packs to their doorsteps, complete with an oversized Rattlesnake Open trophy and Global Poker swag. Players can also earn additional Sweeps Cash by posting photos of themselves rocking the Global Poker gear around their town, as part of the ongoing Hometown Heroes promotion.
The value doesn’t stop there, though. Another series means another leaderboard with bonus prizes for the top finishers, worth a grand total of $15,000. Once again, the overall series leader will receive a $5,000 prize package that includes travel, accommodations and buy-ins for a live event of the player’s choice. The expectations are high as Global Poker leaderboard champions are two-for-two in making deep runs and cashing in the live events they played as Global Poker representatives.
