PokerBaazi Announces First-of-its-Kind Indian Micro Poker Series (IMPS) For Small Stakes Players

The summer of 2020 will go down the history books as a record-smashing season for online poker! Industry leader PokerBaazi has always been at the forefront when it comes to hosting some of the best value tournaments for players of all stakes. It has recently added even more firepower to its broad palate of summer offerings by announcing the first-of-its-kind Indian Micro Poker Series (IMPS)!

The site is currently running the June edition of the ₹45 Lakhs GTD Baazi Grinder Series (BGS). But, given the lack of tournament options for the small & mid-stakes players, PokerBaazi has taken a step forward with the launch of IMPS.

The series comprises of a well-designed set of small-stakes tourneys, offering very high value! The IMPS gets rolling on July 13 and is spread across an entire fortnight till July 26. There are 120 tournaments on the schedule with buy-ins ranging from a very affordable ₹100 and going up to ₹500. Value hunters need not look far as most of the tournaments at the IMPS feature a guarantee that is 300 times the buy-in!

Boasting an impressive ₹1.5 Crore in prize pool guarantees, IMPS will be the biggest tournament series ever in the country in the micro stakes category. There are more than just the cash prizes to play for, as the three headline tourneys at the series – the Mini Main Event, the Highroller, and the Main Event – will, in addition to their prizes, be also handing out trophies to the winners.

PokerBaazi has thrown in ₹10 Lakhs in leaderboard prizes to add more punch to the inaugural series.

It will be running a bunch of satellites from June 17 onwards. PokerBaazi has confirmed that it will be giving away at least 50 tickets to the three marquee IMPS tourneys through social media contests on Facebook and Instagram towards the month-end, so watch out for the announcements!

IMPS Schedule

When was the last time you heard of a featured series with massive GTD’s offering buy-in between ₹100 and ₹500? Well, there are practically none, and that’s what sets the Indian Micro Poker Series apart.

The IMPS will follow an action-packed 14-day run starting July 13 to July 26. The events begin at 3 PM every day, and most of them are at hourly intervals until 8 PM. Since that’s when the serious grinders get to work, two more tournaments have been slotted in 30 minutes apart until 9 PM. The featured tournament of the day will start at 8.30 PM and offer a ₹2 Lakhs guarantee.

The prize pool guarantees start from ₹50,000, but there are some big tourneys on the roster.

Headline IMPS Tournaments

> ₹5 Lakh GTD Mini Main Event (2 starting flights) starting on July 17

> ₹10 Lakhs GTD Highroller starting on July 24.

> ₹20 Lakhs GTD Main Event (4 starting flights) starting on July 24

Play For Even Lesser!

With buy-ins so low, the series is as inclusive as can be. Still, for those looking on getting in on the action for practically nothing, satellites priced at only ₹220, offering two seats each for the High Roller and Day 1A of the Main Event and the Mini Main Event for ₹22, will be running on designated days, starting from tomorrow, that is, June 17 onwards.

Leaderboard Prizes

PokerBaazi will be awarding 50 attractive Leaderboard prizes in Real Cash Bonus (RCB), ranging from ₹2,000 (RCB) to ₹1.50 Lakhs (RCB) to the top finishers on the IMPS Leaderboard. That makes for a total of ₹10 Lakhs in RCB prizes. Even if players don’t win a single tournament, they can still collect points for their deep runs and get ranked on the Leaderboard.

The promotions come with a few caveats and conditions:

> Tournament tickets won through a satellite; contest, rewards or any other promotion for a Day 1A flight cannot be exchanged for any alternate Day 1 flight of the event

> In case a player wins multiple satellites, he/she will be able to use only one of the tickets to play

> Multiple satellite wins can be reimbursed in RCB on emailing the PokerBaazi team

> Any player winning a ticket to the tournaments will be directly registered for it. In case the player then uses a deposit code, the ticket from such code will become invalid and cannot be refunded or used.

PokerBaazi’s month-long offer of Free Entry Tournaments featuring ₹1 Crore in Real Cash Bonus (RCB) giveaways ends today, and the IMPS is the perfect opportunity for small-mid stakes players to build a bankroll!
