STORM OF SUCCESS: Global Poker Micro Thunder Rolls on Sept. 6
There seems to be no slowing down for Global Poker. Fresh off huge GOAT and Summer Series, the Micro Thunder Series is next.
The festival runs Sept. 6-13 with tiny buy-ins leading to thunderous prizes. That includes guarantees of 15 million in Gold Cons (the site’s virtual currency) and 50,000 in Sweeps Coins (which can be redeemed for cash prizes).
Highlighting the latest Global Poker series
When players head to the virtual tables, they’ll find eight days of poker fun. That includes 24 Gold Coin and 25 Sweeps Coin events.
Buy-ins range from SC1.10 to SC5.50 with guarantees from SC500 to S3,000. The festivities include series-capping Gods of Thunder events with some added prizes up for grabs.
