Print-icon
 

The Grizzly Games, the second leg of the Global Poker Championship, proved to be a huge success, paying out more than SC$2 million in real cash prizes. After nearly a month of tournament action, over 200 players were crowned Grizzly Games champions, picking themselves up a money-can’t-buy trophy and champions pack.

The events were so popular, that Global Poker nearly paid out DOUBLE the posted guarantees over the course of the series. The SC$218 buy-in Grizzly Games main event boasted an already-ambitious SC$50,000 guarantee, but after 415 players took their seats the prize pool jumped to a whopping SC$82,000!

In the end, the title went to Maryland poker player ‘smacchamp2015’ who topped ‘Oghab’ during heads-up play for the win. With the main event decided, all eyes turned toward the Grizzly Games leaderboard to see who would be representing Global Poker with a $5,000 live tournament package. With two wins in the series, the overall leaderboard victory went to ‘MommyGingery.’

Global Poker has decided to keep their next big tournament series a secret for now, but stay tuned for an announcement of something even bigger to come.


Join the action in the fastest-growing poker room in the world with Global Poker.

If you have been around poker players in the United States lately then you have probably heard about Global Poker. The new kid on the block as far as online poker sites go has taken the poker world by storm. After launching recently, Global Poker has cemented itself in the top 10 sites worldwide for player volume and as the fastest growing site for US players.

It doesn’t matter what your stake or preference is, Global Poker has something for you. Using their virtual currency of $weeps Cash players can enjoy both full ring and shorthanded games from stakes of $0.02-$0.04 right up to $10-$20 in both Texas hold’em and Omaha.

You may be asking yourself “what is $weeps Cash and what is it about them that has made Global Poker the most popular new site among US poker players?” The good news is that it is actually a simple process which more and more players are using to play for real cash prizes.

You can jump onto the Global Poker website and purchase a virtual currency called Gold Coins using your PayPal account. You can then use these Gold Coins to enter into ring games, sit n go’s and tournaments. Gold Coins work much the same as play money chips on other poker sites, meaning that you can accumulate them and use them in different games but they can never be redeemed for real money.

As a way to promote the sale of Gold Coins, players are given bonus sweepstakes prizes by way of $weeps Cash with every Gold Coin purchase that they make. The $weeps Cash can be used to buy into the $weeps Cash tournaments and ring games however any of these that are accumulated or won can be cashed out through PayPal as real cash prizes.
