The 2022 PokerNews Cup Gets Started at 11 a.m. at The Golden Nugget
It is time for the highly anticipated and much-ballyhooed Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series Event #55 2022 PokerNews Cup $1,100 to kick off at 11 a.m. local time on what will be the first of three starting days in this $1 Million Guarantee event.
The PokerNews Cup has a rich history, starting back in 2007 and was last run in 2019, won by Panagiotis Panagiotidis. This year’s field is expected to be the largest PokerNews Cup yet as it boasts the popular Golden Nugget as its host in downtown Las Vegas in the midst of a great summer of poker.
The $1 Million guarantee will be made up of $1,100 entries. Each entry will garner a stack of 30,000. Reentry is unlimited and will be open for all three starting days, even if a player bags they may opt to enter another flight and move the best bag forward if they happen to bag twice. Levels are 40 minutes and registration will be open until the start of Level 13 on each of the three starting days, meaning a max late registration will be about 8:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 26.
Each of the first three starting days will begin at 11 a.m. and will play down until 12.5% of the field is remaining. At that point, the players will bag and be officially in the money as they head to Day 2, which will be at 12 noon on Monday, June 27. There are 15-minute breaks after Level 3, Level 6, and Level 12, a 60-minute dinner break after Level 9, and a 10-minute break after Level 15 in the late night.
PokerNews will be there to report the action of the tournament as well as link some fun things and stories in what will be a fantastic event!
