Event #33: $1,111 Every 1 for Covid Relief [Caesars Cares]
Jour 1 a débuté
While players in Nevada and New Jersey have already been able to battle for the coveted gold bracelet on the WSOP.com client for the past two and a half weeks, poker enthusiasts from all over the world have been waiting for their chance to join the action.
That countdown has reached zero on the first Super Sunday of the GG World Series of Poker 2020 Online and the entire festival spans over seven weeks with a total of 54 bracelet events. Three bracelet events are on the menu for today as grinders from all over the world add more tables to their busy schedule.
Among those three chances to play for poker's most prestigious hardware is Event #33: $1,111 Every 1 for Covid Relief [Caesars Cares], which comes with a price tag of $1,111 and kicks off at 8 p.m. CET (6 p.m. GMT). Of said buy-in, $111 will be collected for the charity effort by Caesars Cares.
The tournament is slated to play down all the way to the nine-handed final table and each participant receives 25,000 in chips. Throughout the entire tournament, all levels last 15 minutes each and players can re-enter up to two times in the late registration period which lasts for the first three hours.
Some of poker's biggest names are expected to join the action and 90 minutes prior to the start, nearly 400 hopefuls are already signed up including the GGPoker ambassadors Felipe Ramos, Fedor Holz and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Ambassadors from other skins of the network such as Pete "TurboPete" Chen, Sergey Rybachenko, Mikhail Semin, and Thai Ha are joined by streamers Marc Gork, "icho", Michiel "Easterdamnz" Van Elsacker, Torsten "jektiss" Brinkmann and Scott "pokerbrahs" Kenyon.
While the majority of online poker players will showcase their talents by using an alias, several high stakes pros take part under their real name. All those that reach the official final table will require to use their real name as well and play down to a champion the following Saturday with hole cards revealed on a delay on the GGPoker.TV live stream.
Stay tuned for all the action from the virtual felt as the PokerNews live reporting team covers all the action from start to finish.
