Global Poker put SC$1.25 million in guarantees on their Rattlesnake Open, a 135-event series that kicked off last weekend. But if the turnouts from the early events on the schedule are any indication, the series may end up paying out twice as much to the Global Poker community.

The Rattesnake Open started with the generous $5,000 freeroll, open to anyone with a Global Poker account. A total of 3,132 players entered the tournament, and in the end, the title went to St. Louis, Missouri resident ‘floptkwods,’ who defeated ‘chadman7il’ heads-up for the title.

Of course, ‘floptkwods’ and every event winner will not only receive their first-place prize, but also a ridiculously oversized trophy and Global Poker swag.

This Sunday, Global Poker is kicking it up with a SC$50,000 guarantee. Players can buy-in directly for SC$218 or qualify with satellites for just SC$0.55. The tournament starts at 3:30 p.m. EST.

Check out the full schedule.

The highlight of the series is the SC$100,000 guaranteed main event, which sports a buy-in of SC$218. If that seems a little large for your bankroll, don’t worry. Global Poker is offering satellites to the main event for as little as SC$0.55!

At the end of the series, the player who sits atop the Rattlesnake Open leaderboard will also be able to represent Global Poker at a live poker tournament.

Don’t miss out. Sign up today and start building your bankroll for the Rattlesnake Open!


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.
