Groundhog Day takes place on 2 February in the USA and Canada, and sees the critter come out of his hole after a long winter sleep in search of his shadow.

If he sees his shadow, he sees it as a bad omen and returns to his hole. If the day is cloudy and shadowless, he sees it as a sign that spring is on its way and stays above ground.

Regardless of the weather, Intertops poker is helping players celebrate Groundhog Day with a special tournament with an impressive $1,000 bounty up for grabs.

Satellites for the tournament run on 2 February only; they take place every two hours from 9:15am Eastern Time and have a $0.99 buy-in.

The Groundhog Day $1,000 GTD also takes place on 2 February at 7:15pm Eastern Time. For those that qualify the buy-in is $20 + a $2 admin fee. The starting stack is 2,000 and with a six min blind level.

If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Intertops is also extending its Sunday Sundowner Special $10k GTD until further notice.
