GG Poker have embraced the responsibility of hosting the WSOP Super Circuit Series with some style, and so far, the numbers have been fantastic. It all started with a superb opening event, the $1,111-entry COVID Charity Event, which had a $1 million guarantee and welcome a massive field of 1,595 entries in total.
The huge prize-pool and fact that of each entry fee, $111 would be donated to the Nevada Community Foundation’s Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund saw the event fill up very quickly, meaning that by the time the final table approached, the top prize on offer was over a quarter of a million dollars. At the end of the event, it was confirmed that over $175,000 was raised for the fund which will help health professionals and first responders deal with the Coronavirus crisis in Las Vegas among other cities. The initial prizepool of a million dollars eventually went all the way up to over $1.7 million, with the top prize a whopping $269,267.
New GG Poker ambassador Boris Becker was among the players looking to spin up some profit and the three-time Wimbledon champion did just that, cashing in 153rd place for $2,470.
By the time the final table had arrived, there was a double-elimination that decided an important pay-jump for the players involved. ‘M0nkey D Luffy’ was the unfortunate player who busted in 10th place, cashing for $13,829 as opposed to the $19,233 that ‘Ben Carson’ banked for exiting in 9th place.
