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.

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.

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.
