GGPoker GGSeries 3: 482 Events and $50M in Guarantees
GGPoker is not messing around.
The online site has announced their upcoming September online poker series, GGSeries 3 (GGS3) which takes place September 8-29. It’s by far the biggest online series GGPoker has ever attempted featuring $50,000,000 in total guarantees over a gargantuan schedule of 482 events.
Non-Stop Nosebleed Action
Known for their high-roller action, GGPoker’s online series is packed with big buy-in tournaments. Over the three week span of GGSeries 3, there are an incredible 14 tournaments with a $25,000 buy-in and at least a $500,000 guarantee. The final $25K on September 29 features a $1,000,000 guarantee.
Perhaps even more jaw-dropping is the fact that the schedule has 67 total $10,000 buy-in tournaments. GGSeries 3 is a high rollers paradise but may test even the deepest of bankrolls, with nearly 250 total tournaments on the schedule carrying a four-figure or larger buy-in.
$1M Main Event For All
But all the big money isn’t carved out for the nosebleed tournament players. The GGS Championship Event is a multi-flight $250 buy-in with a massive $1,000,000 guarantee. The tournament will need 4000 runners to hit the guarantee but there will be plenty of opportunity for players to fire multiple times as this Main Event has 13 starting flights to choose from.

GSS 500
Another spotlight, high-value tournament on the schedule is the $500 buy-in GSS 500 that comes with a $500,000 guarantee. Like the Championship Event, the GSS 500 has multiple starting flights to help them get to the 1000 runners needed to reach the guarantee.
There are eight starting flights for the GSS 500 beginning on September 15. However, if a multi-flight tournament simply isn’t for you, GGSeries 3 is running another one-day $500 buy-in $500K GTD tournament at the end of the series on September 28.
There are plenty of opportunities for low-to-mid stakes grinders to dive in as well. The schedule is packed with $100 or lower buy-in tournaments with hefty guarantees at those price point. Also, satellites for nearly every GSS3 tournament will be taking place throughout the month of September allowing players who are on a smaller bankroll the opportunity to battle in the big-time tournaments by winning their way in at a smaller buy-in.
GGPoker is loading the GSS3 with promotions as well. They will have a $300K leaderboard promotion in three different tier buy-ins (low, mid and high) as well as a $100K GSS3 giveaway for players who meet daily playing requirements.
With the addition of GGPoker’s GGSeries 3 September is going to be a hotbed of competition in the world of online poker. GGSeries 3 overlaps with both PokerStars’ massive $75 million guaranteed World Championship of Online Poker as well as 888poker’s upcoming XL Eclipse series.
