There will be three Main Events in total. A $ 55 knockout tournament with a $ 500K guarantee is scheduled for May 5-9. The Main Event, with a $ 1M guaranteed prize pool and a $ 630 buy-in, will be held May 16-17.

WPT online series from PartyPoker

PartyPoker will once again host the WPT Online Series. The details of the schedule for all tournaments are currently unknown, but the organisers have announced the dates for the Main Events. So, on May 23 and 30, there will be starting days for the Main Event for $ 3.200 with a guarantee of 3 million. The second day for this tournament is scheduled for May 31.

Leaderboards for Ultra Spins and Spins players remain unchanged.

WSOPC at GGPokerok with $ 100 million

The poker room GGPokerok will host a major series of WSOP Circuit tournaments, in which 18 rings will be played out. From May 1st to May 30th, there will be events ranging from $ 25 to $ 800. The first flight with a buy-in of $ 525 and a guaranteed prize pool of $ 5 million starts on May 17th.

The prize pools in the Spins and AoF leaderboards have changed. So, in Spins, the prize money increased by $ 600K. The Rush & Cash race also started giving away more money – $ 100K. On the contrary, the leaderboard for Hold’em 6+ has decreased – by $ 140K.

A new format of 6-max Spins has appeared at the limits of $ 1, $ 10 and $ 100. The maximum multiplier in such tournaments is 200K. Players of this format also take part in a common leaderboard with 3-max Spins players.

The daily Spins leaderboard with $ 50K prize pool is divided into 9 categories depending on the buy-in. The number of points won depends on your place and the cost of your ticket to the tournament. 1.5 times more points are awarded during Happy Hours, which lasts from 11.00 to 12.59 Moscow time. Prizes are awarded in the form of buy-ins for Spins.

In AoF tournaments, instant buy-in rewards for every 100 hands have been replaced by a $ 50K leaderboard. Players now get one point for all-in with showdown. During happy hours, the number of points increases by 1.5 times. Prizes are awarded in cash dollars (the currency of the poker room, which can only be spent on purchases at cash tables).

By participating in the daily Hold’em and Omaha cash game races, you can win a share of the total prize pool of $ 20K and $ 25K respectively. Points are awarded according to the number of rake hands. For this format, Happy Hour is also valid, increasing the number of points by 1.5 times. Prizes are paid out in cash dollars.

The daily Rush & Cash race is divided into two discipline categories (Hold’em, Omaha) and 7 limits. Depending on the actions performed by the player, a different number of points is awarded:

  1. Fold – 1 point. 
  2. Call – 3 points. 
  3. 5 points per bet and insurance. 
  4. Cash-drop– 10 points. 

No more than 20 points can be won in one distribution. During happy hours, the number of points awarded is doubled, but their maximum still cannot exceed 20. Prize money is issued in the form of cash dollars.

Among 6+ Hold’em players, $ 5K is played out every day as part of the leaderboard. There are 9 categories in total, depending on the limit. The number of points depends on the number of raked hands played. During happy hours, points are awarded 1.5 times faster. Prizes are cash dollars.

The daily Flip & Go leaderboard raffles for $ 5K. A point is awarded for each registration. The number of points is multiplied by one of three coefficients if you get the following combinations in your hands first: straight and flush – x2, set – x3, straight flush – x4. For example, if you bought 5 tickets and made a straight flush with your first hand, you will receive 20 points.

The leaderboard is divided into 4 categories based on buy-ins. During happy hours, points are gained 1.5 times faster. Prizes are awarded in tournament dollars.
