Overlay Alert At GOP Main Event With Last Chance To Enter

Posted April 1, 2026 by Tricia David

Good news players! The Gods Of Poker Main Event is headed for an overlay on the $500,000 guarantee. The past four flights recorded 205 entries at a $1,540 buy-in, which means the tournament still needs roughly 150 more to fully cover the guarantee. 

If that number isn’t reached, the shortfall will be absorbed by the organizers, meaning extra value is injected directly into the prize pool. In poker terms, it’s as close to “free money” as it gets.

For players, you’re effectively playing for a prize pool that exceeds the total buy-ins collected, boosting expected returns across the board. Simply put, that's more bang for your buck the moment you take a seat.

No matter how the final numbers shake out, the prize pool is locked. To jump in on this opportunity, be at NagaWorld Phnom Penh on Thursday, April 2nd before Flight D registration closes at 12:30PM. 

If you miss that window, there is still one last chance to enter. Flight E - the final flight - starts at 6:00PM with registration closing at exactly 10:15PM.
