€5,000,000 GTD iPoker Festival Winter

Author: Vargoso Published: 14.12.22

iPoker will celebrate the New Year with the second IPF Winter in hits history. The guarantee of the festival will be the largest in the network's history: €5,000,000. Almost 20% of that amount will be played in six multi-day events.

Features of the series

2022 has become the most important year for iPoker Network, and it will end with a massive tournament series setting a record:

From December 19, 2022, to January 16, 2023, the IPF Winter Series will guarantee €5,000,000 across 476 tournaments.

Like the two previous "seasonal" festivals, this one boosted guarantees through a sharp increase in the number of events that will replace many regular MTTs.

Highlights:

The buy-in ranges from €5 to €1,000, although there is only one event with the highest entry: IWS 46-H €50,000 GTD Super HR
The average buy-in will be approximately 50 euros, which is 37% less than the last winter series
The average guarantee is over €100,000
Every day, 20 tournaments are scheduled, most of which start in European prime time
This time the Main Event doesn't account for a significant share of the prize pool. IWS 78-H€200K Main Event for €100 will be a multi-day event. Two other events have the suffix "Main" but with more modest numbers;
1. €100,000 GTD Mini for €25
2. €25,000 GTD Micro for €7.5
Along with the Main Event, multi-day events account for €850,000 of the guaranteed prize pool.
