Table Of Contents
PokerNews brings you the Weekend Preview with plenty of events across all platforms for players to sink their teeth into.
This weekend looks to be one of the most exciting of the year so far in terms of online poker action, so if you are still undecided and you are looking for some good weekend action, have a look at the events below running on GGPoker, 888poker, partypoker and PokerStars
Here are some online tournaments that you just cannot miss!
$300,000 GTD GG Masters
| Date | Time | Event | Guarantee | Buy-in | Register |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16th February | 17:00 CET | $150 GG Masters [$300k GTD] | $300,000 | $150 | Register Here |
For any value hunters out there, the GG Masters on GGPoker should be at the top of their list.
This $150 buy-in tournament surpassed 2,000 entries for the first time last week, still shy of the amount required to fulfill the $300,000 guarantee.
The tournament is a freezeout which means that players are only allowed to enter once, and with a buy-in of just $150 it is well within reach of even the most casual player.
With a raft of satellites on offer on GGpoker, you can also enter for a lot less. Just log into your account (or get yourself one here) and check out all the qualifier events available.

Also at the final table was GGPoker Ambassador Felipe Ramos who took home $8,249 for his sixth-place finish - not bad for a $150 tournament!
