The tournament that promises to overlay is back, as the GGMasters Overlay Edition returns to GGPoker. 

The tournament is a $150 freezeout with a $10 million guarantee between February 18 and 26. Players have one shot, and one shot only, at one of the nine starting Day 1 flights. 

Last year the event attracted 64,622 players and overlaid by $1,082,164. It was won by German crusher Phillip Gruissem for $806,305

"There’s no other tournament like the GGMasters Overlay Edition - a freezeout with a reasonable buy-in, an enormous guarantee and the possibility of some major value!” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “Last year, we saw a $1M overlay; who knows what’s in the cards in 2024?”

These are the starting flights for the series:
