Global Poker x PokerNews Cup Main Event Starts June 30
For those who've been grinding away at the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup online poker series, you're probably already gearing up for the Main Event, which takes place June 30 on the social poker site.
But if you haven't yet competed in the series, there's still plenty of action to be had, starting with the aforementioned Main Event, the biggest tournament of the series for both Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC) players.

The name of the game is no-limit hold'em, and the winner of the event will take home a sweet PokerNews Cup trophy. This is a super deep tournament structure, which means it will be a grind, and a true battle to become champion, just the way most online poker players desire.
