The schedule includes 50 tournaments running through August 22, with more than $3.5 million in total guarantees up for grabs.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"key-events\">Key Events<\/h2>\n<p>The action has just begun this week with <em>The Opener<\/em>, a multi-flight tournament that costs $220 to enter and comes with $150,000 in guaranteed prize money. It takes place on Wednesdays and Sundays until August 22 and players are allowed to enter as many flights as they wish. The tournament adopts a \u201c<em>Best Stack Forward<\/em>\u201d policy wherein players take their largest stack with them if they progress into Day 2 from multiple flights. <\/p>\n<p>A micro version of the event is also added to the schedule which offers $10,000 in guarantees for a buy-in of only $2.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot more to be on the lookout for in the series, with some events featuring guarantees of up to seven figures, including the $1 for $1 million which runs every Wednesday and Sunday. As the tournament\u2019s name suggests, players get the chance to compete for $1 million for a tiny investment of only $1.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a <em>$220 buy-in, $250K GTD Summer Showdown<\/em> taking place every day from July 25-31. Running alongside it is the Mini Showdown which has a $22 buy-in and $50K guarantee. <\/p>\n<p>There are a few tournaments for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/pot-limit-omaha-game-guide\">PLO fans<\/a> as well, including the <em>$220 buy-in, $150K GTD PLO Championship<\/em> running daily from August 1-7, with a <em>$110 buy-in, $100K GTD Short Deck Bounty Championship <\/em>also taking place on the same dates.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re into progressive bounties, you have to check out the <em>$220 buy-in, $300K GTD Summer Progressive Bounties Championship<\/em> which will run every day from August 8-14.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wpt-global-main-event-guarantees-1-million\">WPT Global Main Event Guarantees $1 Million<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, the main highlight of the festival is the Main Event which is scheduled for August 12-22 and comes with a $330 entry fee and a huge $1 million guarantee.
