Ever experience No-Limit Hold\u2019em fatigue<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Apparently, people behind the GGPoker Network<\/strong><\/a> are familiar with the feeling. The network is loading up a huge $200,000 guaranteed Omaha points race for May.<\/p>\n

The $200,000 GGPoker Omaha Festival<\/strong> will run from May 1-30, 2018, with a variety of different prizes up\u00a0for grabs.<\/p>\n

The promo will reward players at four different buy-in levels<\/strong> including low, medium, high and the very special \u201cfeatured\u201d category that offers stakes up to $100\/$200<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The points will be added up for each different category. There will be cash prizes for the players who finish in the upper echelon for their respective category.<\/p>\n

For every $.01<\/strong> of rake that players generate while playing Omaha on GGPoker they will receive one point towards the race<\/strong> in that respective buy-in level.<\/p>\n

Over 100 players will win prizes<\/span><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to finish first in the GGPoker Omaha Festival to win some cash. In fact, over 100 players<\/strong> on GGPoker will receive something.<\/p>\n

It breaks down as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Low:<\/strong> Top 50<\/strong> players receive their share of $10,000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Medium:<\/strong> Top 50<\/strong> players receive their share of $20,000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • High:<\/strong> Top 30<\/strong> players receive their share of $70,000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Featured:<\/strong> Top 15<\/strong> players receive their share of $100,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    That\u2019s a total of $200,000<\/strong> in prizes. Players could conceivably hit the leaderboard in several different buy-in levels if they decided to put in some serious volume.<\/p>\n

    It also means that dedicated PLO players can simply play the stakes where they usually play and still get in on the action. Even players who never play Omaha<\/strong> will likely want to try playing for a few days just to see if they can get an early lead in the race.<\/p>\n

    Bonus points available on Saturday, Sunday, Monday<\/span><\/h2>\n

    GGPoker is giving players a little extra incentive<\/strong> to get busy around the weekend.<\/p>\n

    The network will multiply points by:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 2.5X on Saturday
      \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 2X<\/strong> on Sunday
      \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 1.5X<\/strong> on Monday<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The points multipliers mean that weekend warriors won\u2019t<\/strong> be completely locked out of the challenge as they can put in some serious time on Saturday and Sunday to receive more than double their usual amount of points.<\/p>\n

      Players will have until May 30<\/strong> to earn points. At the end of the month, all the points will be tallied up. Then the respective winners will be able to claim their share of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

      GGPoker Bolsters Pro Roster with Bryn Kenney<\/span><\/h2>\n

      GGPoker, which has always been a popular poker portal for Asian players,<\/strong> seems to be set on expanding its market share.<\/p>\n

      The network\u2019s traffic has been steadily growing over the last couple years (it\u2019s currently a top 10 ranked site on PokerScout). Last month it added noted high-stakes pro Bryn Kenney<\/strong> to its pro team.<\/p>\n

      Kenney will serve as an ambassador<\/strong> for GGPoker around the world in addition to acting as a consultant for the player experience on the site.<\/p>\n

      You can even buy some of Kenney\u2019s action<\/strong> through the site if you\u2019ve always wanted to sweat one of the most successful high-stakes pros in poker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
