The closing week of the inaugural GG Spring Festival is upon us and the final high-stakes event is on schedule today with PokerNew's live coverage of H-109: $25,500 Sunday Millions beginning just after 3 p.m. EDT.
Over tens of millions of dollars have already been awarded in the festival, and this event will see at least another $3 million added to that tally thanks to the guarantee posted.
The structure for the tournament equals the previous Sunday Million editions. All players receive 100,000 in chips, which are worth 200 big blinds in the first level at 250/500/60.
Unlimited re-entries are allowed during the registration period, which lasts six full hours until 9:05 p.m. EDT. By then, action will have reached Level 22 where blinds are 5,000/10,000/1,250.
About two hours before play and there is already a list of familiar faces registered. Some early registrants include GGPoker's own Fedor Holz and Anatoly Filatov, two-time GG Spring Festival Champ Sami Kelopuro, along with Sunday 5 Million Champion's Niklas Astedt, and Guillaume Nolet.
Day 1 is scheduled to conclude once the nine-handed final table has been reached and all finalists will then return the following day at the same start time to determine a champion.
