Is april set to be the biggest month in online tournament poker history?

We have this popping off:

Pokerstars SCOOP, $100MM guarantees
GGPoker Spring Festival $125MM guarantees
and Partypoker Powerfest (unknown gtd)


(i stole this image from cardchat.com)


GG is easing into this series with, among other tourneys (ldo), a $25k 5MM gtd (so 200 entries min). Pretty wild. I think they have these multiple times per week all april!

Pretty sick to be a tourney player right now, choices choices!

Will you play? How will the GG vs Pstars battle go down?
I will post some updates, fun (for me) things, and results here and there in this thread

Comparing the kick-off day on sunday we get this below

Worth noting is that the $10k on GG has 3x(!) the GTD of the $10k on stars

The GG $25k has a gtd expecting 200 entries while the stars $10k expects 100!

(GG allows unlimited entries, Stars caps at 3 per person, btw)

I think pandemic kind of polarized bankrolls so many guys rich off poker, stocks, sports betting and crypto.

Still curious to know who is funding GG

If those tornies overlay, that is some serious amounts to be made up. And with all the shady things that have happened with poker in the past

But equally, seeing a site screw up Pokerstars can only be a good thing

GG has round 12 25k's during the series,several 10k's and daily 5k's and 2.5k's with big guarantees(atleast 3x of what stars is offering). No way other site can compete with gg as of now.

Some very random Sunday trivia from checking random staking pages today:

Mikita Badziakouski bought all of of Bencb's 25k action
Limitless bought a bunch of Juan Dominguez (malakastyles)
and Bryn Kenney(!) bought Tomatees 10k action








Fedor Holz, Wiktor, and a David Yan are all on their 4th bullets in the 25k at the moment. Still 2 hours of late reg to go. Endless trunks of money top 3 in chips now are Dario Sammartino, Sean Winter, and Juan Dominguez (sry for the jinx guys)

Thanks guys!

Wiktor has decided to employ the 10/100 strategy in the 25k, it seems. I just came up with this name. It stands for 10 entries 100 vpip. He is 3rd in chips in the 10k on one bullet though.




In the $2100 PLO (NLO posftlop) event the famous EEE also tried the 10/100 but failed to cash




Over in Stars's 10k there are a lot of familiar faces in the top. 15 people will cash, 250k up top



I believe Bencb, Fedor Holz, and Apestyles are all streaming this event by the way! Pretty cool.

^Laszlo Bujtas (o4rollz) is such an enigma to me. Dude holds PLO nosebleeds lobbies and seemingly does well in nl highrollers. I know there are a few guys who do this but he really does stand out.

Unable to provide updates right now, my GG client is acting hella up, can't get it to work (right now it says "unable to update" which according to the website is a connection issue, but my internet is perfectly fine..)

All feel free to add whatever happenings from these events that you want everyone!

The 25k 5MM gtd was 2 entries short. It's 5MM gtd on sundays (the weekday ones are smaller). May get iffy coming sundays!

We have the same question as asked above - Do GG tournaments live up to their guarantees?

They will force the bumhunting rule and take the funds they need from the hs players obv.
