Episode 1: €500,000 Season Opener Weekend

With buy-in’s ranging from €5 to €1,000, this tournament features over €500,000 in guaranteed prizes, spread across daily tournaments and 2 Mystery Bounty events! The focus event for this episode is a €250 NLHE, €100,000 GTD Progressive Knockout. We are keen to explore Main Events perform at a buy-in higher than €100, and this is one of our attempts to test such a setup. The weekly €60,000 GTD Sunday Sweat is going to run as a non-PKO on 28/01, with an increased 70,000 GTD.
