Ready to go all-in—literally? Welcome to Global Poker’s Shovefest, where every hand is an all-in thrill ride. No decisions, no second guesses—just fast-paced, unfiltered poker action. Think you’ve got what it takes to outshove the pack? Let’s break it down.
WHAT'S A SHOVEFEST?
A Shovefest is a tournament where every player automatically goes all-in on every hand. No folds, no bluffs, no strategies—just you, your cards, and your luck. Each hand brings you closer to victory as the last player standing at your table moves on to the next round.
HOW SHOVEFESTS WORK
- Sign up and sit back: Once you’ve registered and the tournament starts, you’re in. At this point, you’re just sitting back to observe, so watch carefully.
- Round 1: Players are randomly assigned to tables at the start. Your goal? Be the last player standing at your table. Knock out everyone else to advance to the next round. And the best part? Every player goes all-in on every hand, automatically, so you can sit back and watch the action unfold. No need to make any decisions—just see how the cards unfold.
- Round 2: To progress to the next round, you must be the last one standing. Only the Table Winner—one from each table—moves on to the next round. Once you’ve cleared your table, you’ll advance to face off against other winners. The second round kicks off only when the first round is complete. This continues round by round until you reach the final table, where one last showdown decides the ultimate champion.
- Round 3: The next round doesn’t start until all tables from the previous rounds are complete. Once all tables have their winners, we shuffle the players and seat you at new tables to start again. It’s all-in, round after round, until there’s only one winner left standing.
- Table balancing is off-limits: There’s no table-balancing mid-round—each round must play out to the end. New tables will only be assigned when a round is over, keeping the action flowing smoothly.
- First-round bye: Depending on how many players sign up to the Shovefest, they could get a ‘bye’ in the first round. No, we don’t mean a polite wave goodbye; you’ll just skip the first round and go straight through to the second instead.
