Welcome to Event #5: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the 2021 PokerGO Cup
Welcome to the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Day 1 of Event #5: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em of the inaugural 2021 PokerGO Cup.
When the PokerGO Tour was announced back in April, two new events were added to the high roller tournament schedule which included the PokerGO Cup and the PokerGO Heads-Up Championship which is set to play out in December.
Event #5 will see players begin with 125,000 in starting chips, and levels will be 40-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 5:30 p.m., which is the start of Level 7 following the conclusion of the dinner break, and players are allowed two reentries during the event.
The PokerGO Cup 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 PokerGO Cup 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 leaderboard is available here.
