Qualifying Round Details
Players who win qualifying round events, which take place in the first two weeks of the series, are automatically entered into the finals. If you finish in the top 50, you'll move on to the quarterfinals, and if you make the final table, you'll skip right ahead to the semifinals.
The top 90 from the quarterfinals will all advance a step, and then the top 36 from the semis move on to the finals. On April 30, for those who battled for three weeks and are still standing, the finale begins, and this is where all that hard work very well could pay off.
In the finals, Global Poker is contributing the whole prize pool of GC100,000,000 and SC250,000. On top of that, there are numerous other cool prizes for those who win qualifiers and the final round, including some Global Poker x PokerNews swag and a shiny trophy.
It will be interesting to see if a qualifying round winner will end up taking down the finals. Winning a qualifier puts you at an advantage because you don't have to be concerned with trying to advance through other rounds. It's like getting a Fast Pass at Disneyland so you can skip the line and get right on the ride.
That said, the event is a survive-and-advance game. If you make it through each round one way or the other, you'll still have a chance to win the biggest prize �� GC40,000,000 or SC100,000.
The @official_glp x PokerNews Cup kicks off tomorrow April 10 and runs through April 30!

Global Poker Explained �C What is it and how does it work?
Global Poker is one of the only options for US and Canada poker players to play social poker online. It is a social casino, which means the game is closely linked to social media and therefore it has a much more ��social�� feel to it than many other casino sites. You can either play for fun, or play for your chance to redeem cash prizes or more. Either way, you can always play for free.
There is no download needed to play or specific software, you can just play directly on the desktop website which is another great advantage.
So far, so good, but what about Global Poker games? Here��s a quick list of some game types you can expect to see:
Games to Play at Global Poker
- No-Limit Texas Hold��em
- Fixed-Limit Texas Hold��em
- Pot-Limit Omaha
- Sit ��n�� Go
- Jackpot Sit ��n�� Go
- Ring games
In addition, you can also expect a number of poker tournaments to get involved in.
How does Global Poker work?
At Global Poker, you can play for fun with 'Gold Coins' which must be purchased and then used in poker games, or with ��Sweeps Coins�� which can not be purchased. You can get FREE Sweeps Coins when registering, daily bonuses or getting involved in social media competitions, but you can also get FREE Sweeps Coins when purchasing Gold Coins. Any winnings whilst playing with Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for cash prizes and gift cards.
