The fourth edition of the PokerGO Cup will be the second PGT-sponsored points series, kicking off tomorrow. A total of 8 events will be played at the PokerGO Studio, which is part of the ARIA Casino, between January 25 and February 3, with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to $25,200.
Tournament Schedule
All 8 tournaments in this series will be played in NLH format, with the first day of play always going down to a 6-seed final table. This will then be played on the second day, and the next tournament will always kick off alongside it. Each player will have a maximum of two re-entries, the starting stack will be 125,000 and the levels will be 30-45 minutes in length. The tournaments will also include a shot clock, where players will always have 20 seconds to decide before the flop and then always 30 seconds after the flop.

Another chance to earn points
Following the PGT Kickoff, this series will be the second opportunity to earn points towards the year-long PGT Leaderboard. That was dominated last year by Isaax Haxton, but currently the name David Coleman, who won two tournaments during the PGT Kickoff, is at the top of the points leaderboard. He is followed by Kristen Foxen, and the top three are rounded out by Dylan Weisman.
