The festival expands on the existing High Roller schedule on the GGPoker Network (GGPN) and boosts the guarantee of several major tournaments such as the $10,300 Super MILLION$ and Bounty Hunters series.

Huge Main Event with $10 Million Guarantee
The festival is reminiscent of High Rollers Week, which ran on the GGPN in November last year. Back then, the flagship Main Event had a guarantee of $5 million and attracted 581 entries. Belgian Triple Crown champion Davidi Kitai defeated Eelis Pärssinen in heads-up to win the top prize of $726,839.
In this newest edition of the Super MILLION$ $10,300 Main Event, an enormous $10 million guarantee awaits. Players can win their seat from as little as $10 thanks to the step satellite system, which also features steps of $108 and $1,050.
There will be four starting days in total in which players can earn their chance at a huge payday. Day 2 will take place on March 8 and the final table will be streamed a day later.
