GGPoker microFestival Begins Sunday

microFestival

If you’re looking for something more low-pressure or you just want to fire some smaller buy-ins alongside the big PokerStars slate, GGPoker’s new microFestival starts this Sunday. It runs through December 14 and buy-ins range from $1.11 to $15. On top of that, GGPoker is adding $100,000 in Second Chance Freerolls, giving players who bust early a free shot at bonus prizes.

Sunday’s opening line-up features NLH, bounty, PLO and mystery events with guarantees that punch well above their buy-ins.
