The operator recently announced a brand-new High Rollers Week featuring $22 million in total prize money.

This is the third time the series has taken place and the total prize money up for grabs is the most yet at $22 million. Players will be able to compete in 20 events over an eight day time frame.

The GGMasters High Rollers will feature a $1.5 million prize pool instead of its traditional $1 million. For the Super MILLION$, the event will include $3 million in prize money and $10,300 for the buy-in. each of these events take place on the opening day, kicking things off with a bang.
Additional events on the schedule include the NLHE Super High Roller, which has a $25,000 buy-in. The prize pool for this event is $2.5 million. The only Short Deck event on the schedule will take place on November 14 and offer a buy-in of $10,300.
The High Rollers Week takes place at the same time as the Battle of Malta. GGPoker is hosting the Battle of Malta online as it could not take place at Casino Malta as it usually does due to the coronavirus. The series kicked off online on November 1 and will continue through November 22. Players are competing for a whopping $30 million in total prize money.
The online poker action is plentiful at GGPoker over the next two weeks. Players can easily log in and play in the Battle of Malta and High Rollers Week, if their bankroll permits! It will be interesting to see how both series fare, once it is all said and done. It would not be surprising to find the guarantees shattered as players log in at record numbers.
