The Pick of This Weekends Microstakes Tournaments on GGPoker

$15 Bounty Hunters Holiday Special

Progressive Knockout tournaments are as popular as ever, and this tournament is expected to attract a bumper field. Running at 3.30 p.m. GMT, this tournament boasts a whopping $100,000 GTD prize pool and a generous structure to boot. Levels start at 12 minutes apiece, before being reduced to 8 minutes when registration closes at the end of level 12.

As it is the holidays, GG is adding up to 5% of the guarantee to the prizepool, meaning there could be an extra $5,000 added as the tournament commences. On Sunday, there will be the same tournament under a different name at the same time for $10.80, and is an essential play for any low-stakes grinders. At this price point, it is hard to find better value anywhere online when it comes to big field tournaments. The tournament also runs multiple times throughout the week. Below is the schedule.

$15 Santa’s Secret KO [Mystery Bounty]

The Mystery Bounty format is here to stay, as evidenced by the massive fields that come together in pursuit of the ever-elusive biggest bounty. This tournament will be no exception. A whopping $250,000 guarantee has been set by GGPoker, with half going into the bounty prize pool and half into the standard payout prize pool.

Blinds are 8 minutes long from the off and throughout, and GG is also running up to 5% of the GTD added to the prize pool promotion on this tournament. It would be no surprise to see this tournament smash through 10,000+ entrants with relative ease, and the top bounty prize will be a five-figure score. The Mystery Bounty phase only comes into effect when the field is in the money. The top 15% will find the payouts. The tournament starts at 6:05 p.m. GMT, and registration is available for the first 17 levels, or 4 hours and 25 minutes.

The tournament is held twice, on December 20th and December 27th. The tournament structure and guarantee remain unchanged on the 27th. Get involved, Christmas might come early!

$11 Happy New Year – $1M GTD

The first Day 1 flights to the massive $1,000,000 guarantee $11 Happy New Year tournament commence on December 21st. There will be 12 Day 1’s running per day in the build-up to Day 2 on January 5th. The tournament is a stack choice, meaning players can enter as many Day 1s as they like, but only their largest stack advances. Levels run for 8 minutes each, and Day 1s finish when 15% of the field remains. Registration remains open for 12 levels, or 1 hour and 40 minutes from the tournament’s starting time. There is plenty of time to get involved with this tournament, and it would be no surprise to see the guarantee exceeded with the number of starting flights available. It isn’t often you get to play for a slice of a $1,000,000 prize pool, let alone for $11! It is worth a shot for players of all bankrolls.
