The Merit Poker Gangster Series $5,300 High Roller Kicks Off at 8 p.m.
The 2023 Merit Poker Gangster Series $5,300 High Roller will begin at 8:00 p.m. local time at the Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino with a guaranteed prize pool of $300,000!
The series has only just kicked off, but it has already been a huge success. The first event of the series was the $2,200 Warm Up which attracted 453 entrants. This was enough to smash the guarantee and bring the first prize pool of the series to a whopping $833,520 with an impressive first-place prize of $167,500. That event is being streamed over on the Merit Poker Youtube Channel.
The $5,300 High Roller will feature a fun, yet deep structure as players begin the tournament with 100,000 in starting chips. It will have 40-minute levels with a 20-minute break after every three levels. This event is also eight-handed. Hopefully, the massive stacks with shorter levels will lead to some creative play and big action.
Both of the first and second day of the event will start at 8:00 p.m. local time. The goal is to play Day 2 down to a final table of eight players. That final table will then be streamed on the Merit Poker YouTube channel on the last day starting at 2:00 p.m. local time.
