Carbon Raises MTT Guarantees & SNG Changes
The recent rise in traffic at Merge Gaming Network, anchored by flagship site Carbon Poker, has prompted some big changes and players are positioned to benefit big time! You don’t have to just play one type of game to really appreciate these promotions and additions!
Merge Gaming raises guarantees across nearly all MTTs!
The recent rise in customers for Merge Gaming Network has prompted them to make the tournaments even bigger and they have responded in a big way. Tournaments across the board are getting a big push upwards, especially in the micro and low stakes. In total over 35 tournaments are getting a boost which will total nearly $200,000 in increased guarantees.
Some of the biggest gains will be seen on Sundays which just makes the big day even bigger for players. All Sunday Majors and Minors ($11, $33, $60 and $109) are now $20,000 guaranteed! That bump allows Merge Gaming Network to claim the largest $11 tournament on Sunday, just edging out Bovada’s $15,000 guaranteed Sunday minor. There has also been a very large increase in the size of nightly tournaments with them receiving a bump of over $10,000. These increases create a safe and profitable place for US tournament grinders to play and win substantial 1st place prize money.
SNGs Get HUGE Makeover
In an attempt to create a more action packed and healthy ecosystem with concern to the Sit n’ Go’s Merge Gaming Network has decided to reorganize the levels being offered to players. Players will now have the choice of either $1.50, $3.50, $7, $15 or $30. Frequent players will notice that is a huge change from the current structure that has 6 levels and focuses more on the smallest of buy-ins. This new structure consolidates player pools a pretty significant amount while allowing players to move up to higher buy-in SNGs much faster.
These changes are being coupled with the removal of “Supersonic” SNGs which will be a positive development according to a lot of players. Many players had seen these as a rake cash grab by Merge Gaming Network and didn’t like how much gamble they encouraged. With their removal and the reconfiguring of the levels offered to current SNGs, the ecosystem of players has a chance to be much healthier and will allow for the movement upwards quicker and easier than in the past.
Players needn’t worry about a raise in rake as all rake, except HU hyper turbos, either saw the rake stay the same or go down slightly as a % of rake paid. This was a result of Merge Gaming rounding down when doing the conversions to the new rake numbers. In the case of the HU hypers it’s not all bad news either as the rake only went up half as much as what Pokerstars rose its rake to earlier in the year.
Daily Freerolls for ALL!
