Weekend Preview for march 8th

The weekend is finally and that means a large percentage of us now have some free time to grind some online poker! Hopefully, you’re included in that statement and can get involved in this quartet of massive tournaments.


$500,000 Guaranteed Big Game at partypoker

The Big Game is partypoker’s biggest buy-in weekly tournament, one that commands $5,200 to sit down in it. Players in The Big Game get to compete for a slice of a guaranteed $500,000 and that guarantee is almost always surpassed.

Most of us mere mortals don’t have $5,200 laying around to invest in a single online poker tournament and partypoker realises that, so has made some sweeping changes to the Big Game’s satellites.

It’s now possible to win your way into the $5,200 Big Game for no financial outlay whatsoever. Freerolls run every day that feed into the first of three stages of partypoker’s popular Phased satellites. It’s a great system that opens up the Big Game to every partypoker player regardless of the size of their bankroll.

Read all about how you can turn $5.50 (or just some of your time) into a seat in the $500,000 guaranteed Big Game here.


$1,000,000 SuperStorm Main Event at 888poker

The$1,000,000 SuperStorm Main Event is another fantastic tournament to play this weekend. Head to 888poker and see if you can turn a $100 investment into a slice of a seven-figure prize pool.

This tournament is a multi-flight event with dozens of Day 1s taking place. Each Day 1 costs $100 to enter unless you win your seat for a fraction of the cost via 888poker’s satellites. Play continues until the conclusion o the 11th level or until 15% of the field remains, whichever comes first. Make it through Day 1 and you’ll compete on Day 2 held on March 22nd.

$300,000 GG Masters at GGPoker

The $300,000 GG Masters is probably the best value tournament online poker has to offer right now thanks to the massive potential prize waiting at the end of 2020.

You earn Player of the Year points whenever you reach the money places of this $150 buy-in tournament at GGPoker. Finishing in the top 20 of the leaderboard awards some superb prizes. Second to 20th place is worth a GG Masters ticket to every tournament held in 2021, something worth $7,800 right now.

Win the leaderboard, however, and a $500,000 GG sponsorship package is all yours!

You’ll need to bring your A-game to the table to win this large field tournament, but the rewards for excelling are immense. Each week sees the champion win more than $40,000, and there’s the not-so-small matter of that $500,000 sponsorship carrot dangling in front of everyone!


$250,000 Guaranteed Sunday Storm Knockout Sunday

Most of the tournaments that feature in the Weekend Preview are high stakes, but not the Sunday Storm at PokerStars. The Sunday Storm only costs $11 to enter, although you can win your seat from as little as $0.33!

Despite the low buy-in, the Sunday Storm guarantees $250,000 will be won! What’s more, this week’s Sunday Storm is a PKO tournament meaning you win cash for each and every opponent you send to the showers. Send one or two players home early and you’re essentially freerolling towards the main prize pool prizes!
