The 7th of 11 Live starting flights in the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix Canada is set to begin shortly and this tournament is shaping up to present an incredible value for poker players!
With 21 starting flights already in the books – 15 online and 6 live – we have only collected $228,000 of the prize pool, which is guaranteed at $500,000. With just 5 live and 2 online Day 1s remaining, it’s starting to look like players may have found their Pot of Gold – a huge overlay! It will take an average of over 250 players per live starting flight to meet the $500,000 guarantee.
What’s an overlay, you ask? When there’s a prize pool guarantee, the overlay is the amount that has to be made up between the prize pool generated by buy-ins and the guaranteed amount. It’s a great value for players because the tournament is just a little bit easier to navigate with fewer players in the field – but the prize pool remains the same!
Play in Day 1G gets underway at Noon today with late registration open until 2:15pm. If you want to take a shot at an amazing prize pool, today and tomorrow are your final opportunities. Remember this is a next-day re-entry event (best stack forward) as well – you can play as many times as you want to build up the biggest stack possible for Day 2.
Good luck!
