Merge is pleased to announce that the $100,000 Guaranteed event has increased to $125,000 Guaranteed.

The "Midweek Monster" tournament has also been added; it has a $20,000 Guarantee, and it takes place on Wednesday at 19:00 server time.

The buy-in is $55+5, and a $60 coupon can be used to play this event.

The +25k guarantee doesn't really change anything since it's been getting over 1300 people, but still a nice update, especially since the freeroll now gives 125 seats. Obviously better than keeping it at 100k and I wouldn't expect Merge to set it over 150k anyway.

Wednesday tournament is a great addition

Keep it up Merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrge

I remember not long ago(a few months) when there was overlay every week with it being a 100kg. Traffic is definitely increasing.

How do you find/register for the "Midweek Monster" Ever time I search for this tourney, all I can find are the Poker Maximus events. Can someone guide me as to where to find this?

Thanks,

Glad to see this change with the $125k. The $100k had been getting a solid 1250-1400 entrants for a few weeks now so it's good to see the bump up. Hopefully traffic will keep increasing and you guys can bump it up again before too long!

They used to have it and it went away when they switched to some other promos. I'm all for it coming back, but the promos would have to change up a little for this to happen I'm pretty sure.

Do you have the all-in button turned on? It's on by default and it caused me to ship a couple times where I wanted to bet pot (they are right next to each other). Prompt disable from the settings fixed that.

If you have the all-in button disabled and you still ship by accident, than just slow the **** down I guess.

This would be nice. The promos dropped in value this month

While I know the 100k has increased in size already to 1300 events, I think it is good marketing to bump their signature tourney up in guarantee value. It is good to have large dollar tourneys on advertising banners. It can draw new players that dream of gambling it up for a big payday.

I totally agree tr8cer.. $125,000 will drag people in more than $100,000..

I really hope they add the 125 seats to 125k.. I loved it.. Always fun to have a freeroll with a $109 prize

Seth- fyi i just finished a 38.80+ .80 top 2 get ticket to the"100k guarantee" I surely hope this will work for the 125k guarantee :-) Assure me its not an elaborate scam and the ticket is useless cuz the 100k doesnt exist anymore!

I see that the $109 event for poker maximus #45 is 175k gtd. Do you guys think after this promotion is over they will increase it to say 150k or keep it at the 125k?

You have to be careful using the slider as well, I usually click on the little arrow on the right edge of the slider bar to adjust the bet sizing, but if you miss that arrow and accidently click on the far right edge of the slider area itself it will put you all in.

The last 2 weeks we've seen the prizepools at 147k and 148k.
