PokerGO is ready to start another high-stakes tournament in the form of the PGT Heads-Up Showdown invitational. The debut PGT Showdown invitational comprises a 25,000 dollars buy-in where 32 players will participate in a no-limit 1-1 hold’em shootout format.
Given the hype around the tournament, it is sure to feature several big names. In addition, the 400,000 dollars inaugural winning amount will not be provided unless the tourney would amass greater digits.
