The Global Poker x PokerNews Cup began back on April 10 and is slated to run through April 30. During that time, there will be 32 exclusive trophies and GC 100,000,000 and SC 250,000 Finals.

For the past two weeks, there have been a series of qualifying trophy events; in fact, they wrapped up over the weekend, which means 28 events are already in the books. Remember, the winners were awarded entry into the upcoming PokerNews Cup Finals, while the final tablists received entry to the semifinals and the top 50 finishers earned a spot in the quarterfinals.

If you haven't already qualified, fear not as you still have a chance thanks to a PokerNews social media content:

PokerNews has been following the action and providing daily updates on all the trophy events. Impressively, a combined 37,834 competitors battled between the 28 completed events (14 Gold Coin and 14 Sweeps Coin events).
