Poker Central has announced a new initiative for 2021, the PokerGO Tour. It will comprise 150 high stakes tournaments, many of which already existed as standalone events. Examples include the Poker Masters, Super High Roller Bowl and US Poker Open.
The marketing hype makes the most of a new ranking system that will award Player of the Year recognition, accompanied by a prize of $100,000. PokerGO states:
“The PokerGO Tour™ will mark the first time an official tour and ranking system of this magnitude has been seen in the poker industry, which will separate and celebrate the most elite professional poker players in a similar fashion to the ranking systems of the world’s most renowned professional sports.”
