The $100 buy-in GGSOP MILLION$ needs close to 22,000 entires to make the guarantee. So far just 6,500 have entered

The GGSOP festival came with a whopping $6,500,000 guaranteed across its 54 events, with buy-ins ranging from $2.50 to $100! The festival draws to a close this weekend, but not before some of the most exciting tournaments of the festival crown their champions.

One tournament we think you should keep an eye out for is the GGSOP #53: $100 GGSOP MILLION$ which comes with a whopping $2,000,000 guaranteed for a $100 buy-in. The tournament needs close to 22,000 entries to reach its lofty guarantee and with just 17 flights remaining, it has attracted less than a third of that amount.

That's why PokerNews is here to give you all the key information you need in our newest series Overlay Alert!



Day 1 Structures

There are two different structures in the $100 GGSOP MILLION$, one with 15-minute levels and a Turbo structure with 6-minute levels. Players who enter either Day 1 will receive 10,000 chips with the blinds starting at 50/100.

Late registration is open for nine levels and each Day 1 finishes at the end of Level 15. Players may play as many Day 1s as they like, but only their largest stack will be carried forward to Day 2.
