Highroller tournaments are back on the international poker tournament calendar starting this Thursday. On January 5th the second season of the PokerGO tournament series will start.
This tournament series with most of buy-ins starting at 10,000 dollars was a complete success last year. More than 260 million dollars in prize money was distributed over almost 150 tournaments, with the tournaments being broadcast live for spectators via PokerGO.
Starting January 5th, the highroller tournaments will continue, first at the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas, then at the Aria Resort. The first really expensive tournament will be the $100k tournament on January 19th at the Aria with a buy-in of $100,000. A total of 53 tournaments are on the schedule until the end of May, including 7 super highroller events with six-figure buy-ins.
Last year, Ali Imsirovic was by far the most successful player in this series with an impressive 10 tournament wins.
Commenting on the new season, the PokerGO President said: "The inaugural season of the PokerGO Tour awarded more than a quarter of a billion dollars in prize money and surpassed all expectations. The sport of poker demands that we celebrate those that perform at the pinnacle of competition. In the PGT’s second season, we are ready to raise the bar and continue to showcase poker’s elite at the game’s highest stakes."
