From freerolls and satellites to the big Sunday events, there are many different kinds of tournaments available. On top of that, there’s also over $300,000 in guaranteed prize money to be won every day. On Sundays in particular, all buy-ins and guarantees are doubled, which means $1,223,000 in guaranteed prize money, equal to $12million in monthly guarantees.
Blade Series
BLADE is the new and improved version of the popular Black Series, featuring a wide buy-in range, daily schedule and a packed Sunday line-up.
