The 2015 Golden Spade Open (GSPO) is bigger and better than ever this year with $3,500,000 guaranteed to be won in the Championship Series. Bovada are inviting their players new and old to get their share of the gold with over eighty events taking place between October 17th and November 8th 2015.
The headliner $500,000 Main Event will take place on the final day, November 8th, at 5.03pm ET and the buy in direct is $450.
The series is full of mid to high stakes games, starting at $55 but Bovada have ensured that all their players are in with a chance by running daily qualifiers at a fraction of the cost.
Qualifiers and Satellites
There are daily qualifiers and satellites running now for as little as $5.25 which means that you could be in the big money games for pocket money prices.
To be fair to all players the rules are that you can only win one entry to an event, if (by accident?) you qualify several times the additional entries will be forfeited and there will be no cash alternative offered.
$100,000 Guaranteed
The regular $100,000 Guaranteed tournament held on Sundays at 3.05pm will, during the $3.5M Guaranteed Championship Series, have an increased prizepool of $250,000. Another great way to play for a big payday.
