Golden Sit&Go

From November 17, at least $500,000 will be distributed in the Golden Sit&Go promotion. The Sit&Gos are chosen randomly, and players can win back up to twenty times their buy-in.

On the first level, players will win their buy-in back and the prize pool of the Sit&Gos are doubled, on the second level, players receive twice the amount of their buy-in, and the prize pool is tripled, and on the third level, players receive the equivalent of five buy-ins, and the prize pool is multiplied by six.

Players can also win money in the special Milestone Sit&Gos. In the Milestone Sit&Gos players will win back ten times their buy-in, and will receive $100. At the $500,000 Milestone, the multiplier increases to x20, and the cash prize is $500.

In the Milestone Sit&Gos, in addition to the buy-in return and the cash prizes, the prize pools will also be increased. During the first four Milestones, the original prize pool will be multiplied by 10 and added to the tournament, and in the fifth, $500,000 Milestone, the prize pool will be multiplied by 20 and added to the tournament.
