The mini MILLION$ is currently underway at GGPoker, and the site also announced some additions to its high stakes events as well on Monday. GG is making a range of improvements to the site’s Super MILLION$ tournaments.
The biggest addition is the launch of the “SuperRanking” leaderboard. These standings rank players purely on profit-and-loss results in all online and live Super MILLION$ events. The leaderboard displays the top 20 players.
“The player that finishes the year at the summit of the SuperRanking leaderboard will be crowned SuperPro and can legitimately be recognized as poker’s best player,” GG noted in announcing the additions.
Along with high-stakes online action, GG is promising live Super MILLION$ events this year as well. Players can also qualify online for as little as $10 for a shot at these mega-stakes tournaments.
What to expect from GGPoker Super MILLION$ additions
Players seeking some larger stakes will find plenty at GGPoker. The weekly $10,300 Super MILLION$ events attract amateur players and serious poker pros alike. The player finishing at the top of the rankings, aka the SuperPro, receives:
- Super Platinum level designation in GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program. The winner receives the equivalent of 100% cashback at GGPoker and in all online and offline Super MILLION$ events.
- A custom GGPoker SuperPro player avatar.
- Additional benefits revealed throughout the year.
The players finishing in second and third place earn the same benefits, except for the special SuperPro avatar. Players must take part in at least five Super MILLION$ events per calendar year to be eligible for consideration.
Live events, online qualifying part of the Super MILLION$ action
Beyond the online tables, GG is also partnering with Triton Poker and other live operators for Super MILLION$ tournaments. The first live Super MILLION$ Live tournament is scheduled for March 1 during the Triton Super High Roller Series stop at the Hoiana Resort in Vietnam.
GG also introduced new ways to qualify for Super MILLION$ online events.
“The satellites will help ensure that almost all players, no matter their bankroll, will have an opportunity to win their way into online poker’s most prestigious tournaments,” GG notes.
First up is a massive Super MILLION$ 2023 satellite on Jan. 29 with a buy-in set at just $10. The event guarantees 10 tournament tickets, each valued at $10,300.
“This new edition of Super MILLION$ will really be exceptional, including a new SuperRanking format which will be based on pure win-loss, for the first time in poker history,” GGPoker ambassador Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier said.
“The winners will be recognized as the best poker players of our era, and crowned GGPoker’s first SuperPros. We’re also expanding live and bringing the Super MILLION$ experience worldwide to everyone. I can’t wait to see some new faces in the world’s greatest high roller games.”
A look at Super MILLION$ Week
Super MILLION$ Week recently concluded with the series highlighted by a $10 million guaranteed Main Event. The event easily topped the guarantee, awarding more than $11.5 million.
That is the biggest prize pool ever in a $10,000 online tournament. Since the series’ inception in June 2020, Super MILLION$ tournaments have awarded more than $300 million.
