PokerGO<\/strong> is officially back to hosting multiple high-stakes poker tournaments in 2021! The popular poker streaming service temporarily suspended its live poker offering in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n Now that things are slowly going back to normal at the live felts, PokerGO will once again be busy in the next few months<\/a> holding its flagship events, as well as introducing new offerings. The cherry on top is a new points system geared towards the world\u2019s best and finest poker pros, with $175,000 in extra prizes going to the top three finishers! <\/p>\n The high-stakes tournaments that PokerGO is set to host in 2021 will form part of \u201cThe PokerGO Tour<\/em>\u201c. There will be around 150 tournaments running throughout the rest of the year, with buy-ins starting at $10,000. <\/p>\n PokerGO will celebrate the return of its popular live tournaments by bringing poker at the center stage of global sports, something that has \u201cnever been done before<\/em>\u201c, according to PokerGO President Mori Eskandani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In 2020, PokerGO was only able to host two Super High Roller Bowls which were both captured by Timothy Adams<\/strong>. The Canadian poker pro\u2019s back-to-back victory earned him over $5 million in total winnings. After that, the live poker scene had gone dark and silent as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and the other scheduled events on PokerGO\u2019s live calendar were ultimately dropped.<\/p>\n Now they\u2019re coming back, starting off with the US Poker Open<\/a> which will run from June 3-14, featuring 12 tournaments. Up next will be the PokerGO Cup scheduled for July 1-10, a new event that features eight tournaments. It will be followed by another new addition to PokerGO\u2019s live tournament offering, the PokerGO Heads-Up Championship<\/em>, which will take place on July 12.<\/p>\n2021 Schedule <\/h2>\n
