February at GGPoker is packed with rewards, as loyal players share in a massive $12,000,000 giveaway. This month’s spotlight shines not only on the world’s highest cash game leaderboards but also on the legendary GGMasters, which is celebrating its anniversary in style!

To mark the occasion, the GGPoker 5th Anniversary Series will take place from February 9 to 24, featuring boosted guarantees on the six daily GGMasters events. These tournaments are at the heart of the celebration, offering even more value and excitement. We recently took a closer look at what makes them special!

The GGMasters tournaments stand out as a must-play, offering lucrative opportunities for players of all skill levels. Held in the No Limit Hold'em format, these iconic events stay true to the classic freezeout structure—no re-entries, no rebuys—delivering pure, high-stakes poker excitement.

Additionally, throughout the series, at least $200,000 worth of GGMasters tickets will be randomly awarded at the tables, giving players even more chances to join the action. Satellites, Step Satellites, and Freerolls in the GGMasters Freezeout Series are not included in the GGMasters Ticket Drop promotion.
