In February, poker room TigerGaming will host a major series of knockout tournaments with a total guaranteed prize pool of $ 1 million.
After the emerging of the new tournament director, Dan, to the Chico network, work began on changing the tournament grid. By January of this year, users were able to see the results of these works: loading times became standard, the number of formats increased, except for Texas Hold’em tournaments, and PLO and PLO8 games began to be played every hour. To top it all off, a massive King of the Ring series has been announced.
The series of tournaments will run from February 14 to March 1. A total of 107 tournaments are planned with a total guaranteed fund of $ 1 million. Tickets will cost from 50 cents to $ 535. Tournaments will be held with the rules of No Limit Hold’em, PLO and PLO8.
King of the Ring series description
All tournaments of the reviewed series will be held in the RKO format, i.e. 50% of the contributions will be spent on the prize pool, and the other 50% will be awarded for knocking out opponents.

Conditions for participation in leaderboards
Players who decide to take part in a large number of events in the King of the Ring series, and who have taken high places, will be able to take part in the leaderboard and try to win a part of the guaranteed prize pool. Four leaderboards were created depending on the cost of tickets:
- Featherweight – for tournaments up to $ 4.99, the total prize of $ 1.000 is split between the 41 first players.
- Lightweight – buy-ins from $ 5 to $ 19.99, prizes – $ 1.500, number of participants – 41.
- Middleweight – tickets cost from 20 to 99.99 dollars, the total prize of $ 2.000 will be distributed among 12 players.
- Heavyweight – players who buy tickets for $ 100 or more are participating. The first 10 members of the leaderboard will share $ 3.000.
Points are calculated using the formula: (ticket price / seat in the tournament) x (number of entries / 100)
The first place players in each table will receive tickets to 4-max SnG tournaments with a $ 2.5K guarantee. The winner will take $ 1K, the second place – $ 700, and the third and fourth places will receive $ 400 each. This event will take place on March 7th.
