As we go into February, GGPoker is gearing up to hit a major milestone with the GGMasters 5th Anniversary Edition, the centerpiece of the operator giant’s monthly schedule. This special event, taking place on February 23, boasts a $150 buy-in and an impressive $5 million guaranteed prize pool. It’s a classic freezeout format—no rebuys, no add-ons, just one shot to make it count.

So, let’s check out the detail below.

The GGMasters 5th Anniversary Edition Details

Introduced in 2020, GGMasters events quickly became a staple in GGPoker’s tournament lineup. The format is straightforward: every player gets one entry, and once your chips are gone, that’s it. This simplicity has made the series a favorite among players who appreciate the strategic depth of single-entry events.

The 5th Anniversary Edition is the crown jewel of a festival running from February 9 to February 24, dedicated to celebrating the GGMasters legacy. Players can secure their spot in several ways:

  • Direct Buy-In: For $150, players can enter directly into the tournament on February 23.
  • Satellite Tournaments: Lower-cost satellite events offer a chance to win a seat for a fraction of the direct buy-in.
  • $200K GGMasters Ticket Drop: From February 9 to February 25, GGPoker will randomly award $200,000 worth of tickets (valued at $15, $25, and $150) to participants in GGMasters 5th Anniversary Series events.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, summed up the event’s appeal: “The GGMasters 5th Anniversary Edition is all about taking that one shot at a mouth-watering prize pool. This unique single-entry event is one of the highlights of our annual tournament schedule.”
