GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, proudly announces the launch of Pick & Go tournaments, a groundbreaking format that merges the excitement of major sporting events with the exhilaration of online poker.

Pick & Go tournaments coincide with top-tier sporting events, including international football matches. Each tournament features two buy-in options, one for either opponent, with buy-ins adjusted by the live match odds. For instance, players supporting big favorites will have smaller discounts applied to their buy-in than those who select the underdogs.

Adding an extra layer of excitement, any players who registered in support of the losing team will be automatically knocked out of the poker tournament once the sporting event finishes, regardless of their chip stack! The remaining Pick & Go players will then battle it out in a standard No-Limit Hold’em tournament format.

The inaugural Pick & Go tournament kicks off on Friday, June 14, aligning with the highly anticipated Germany vs. Scotland football game. Additional tournaments will run in tandem with the international football matches scheduled over the coming weeks.

“Pick & Go offers players a thrilling dilemma; support the favorites to boost your chances of surviving until the money, or back the underdog for a bargain buy-in,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “There will be moments when you’ll have to choose between your heart and your head, maybe even buying in and supporting a rival team – with Pick & Go the stakes are high both on and off the tables!”

New players joining GGPoker can enjoy the Welcome Bonus and Honeymoon for Newcomers promotions and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, which provides regular cash prizes.

Hello there! Adrienn here. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
