Someone might think that overlays were implemented due to the small number of participants. However, it's not. On the contrary, the number of players is constantly growing, as well as the guarantee, which organizers increase.

The previous tournament showed a record attendance of 3 383 participants, but it wasn’t enough to achieve $500 000 guarantee. 539 players reached the ITM zone, and the winner earned $58 805.

Since the moment of tournament creation, its guarantee doubled. However, GGPoker doesn’t intend to stop at the mark of $500 000. The main thing is that the buy-in remains at the same level: $150.
