Welcome to Event #12: $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the 2021 Poker Masters
Welcome to the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Day 1 of Event #12: $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the 2021 Poker Masters.
The Poker Masters is the longest-running high-stakes tournament series owned by PokerGO that began in 2017. Germany’s Steffen Sontheimer was the inaugural winner of the Poker Masters Purple Jacket, before Ali Imsirovic won in 2018, and Sam Soverel won in 2019. In 2020, the series moved online with Alexandros Kolonias winning the first online series before Eelis Pärssinen won the Pot-Limit Omaha online series. Now the Poker Masters returns to home soil at the PokerGO Studio for the 2021 installment.
Event #12 will see players begin with 200,000 in starting chips, and levels will be 45-minutes in duration with a 10-minute break every two levels. Players that register before the start time of 12 p.m. PT will not have to pay rake on their tournament entry, but this will not apply for late entries and re-entries. Registration closes at the start of Level 7, and players are allowed one reentry during the event.
The Poker Masters will play with a 30-second shot clock, and each player will receive six 30-second time extensions per entry. The final six players will receive an additional six 30-second time extensions. The player that accumulates the most PokerGO Tour points during the series will win the Poker Masters Purple Jacket and receive an additional $50,000 in prize money.
This tournament is part of the PokerGO Tour with players earning points based on the amount they cash for. The full PokerGO Tour schedule can be found here, and the current PokerGO Tour presented by Guaranteed Rate leaderboard is available here.
