The high-stakes action of the GGPoker Spring Festival continues with more big buy-in events today, one of which is the upcoming H-84: $25,500 Super High Roller, set to begin just after 3 p.m. EDT.
Already, tens of millions of dollars have been awarded in the festival, and this event will see at least another $2 million added to that tally thanks to the guarantee posted.
Everyone will get 100,000 in their starting stacks with blinds kicking off at 250/500/60. Levels will be 15 minutes apiece the whole way through, and as usual, unlimited reentries will be permitted. Roughly five hours of late registration will be open, so there will be plenty of time for numbers to swell beyond the 11 currently registered for the start of play.
Some of those already committed include such stars as Adrian Mateos, David Peters, Juan Pardo, Chris Rudolph, Sami Kelopuro and GGPoker's own Fedor Holz.
