May is a huge month for online poker players with many big festivals taking place, including the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series at GGPoker, WPT Online on partypoker and the Spring Championship of Online Poker on PokerStars

Throughout the month, we'll be bringing you several events that we think you should check out and add to your daily schedule, with guarantees galore and a huge array of starting flights.

Today we look at three exciting events:

Which tournament are you looking forward to playing?

GGPoker: WSOPC Ring Event #11: Deepstack Bounty Hunters

The World Series of Poker Super Circuit at GGPoker features 585 action-packed tournaments with more than $100 million in guaranteed prizes from May 3-31.

In addition, this is a rare opportunity for players across the globe to win one of 18 coveted WSOP Circuit gold rings.

One event to keep your eyes open for is the WSOPC Ring Event #11: Deepstack Bounty Hunters on May 19 at 6 p.m. GMT / 2 p.m. EDT, where one of the 18 rings will be awarded to the winner.

The tournament features a huge $500,000 guarantee for just a $210 buy-in. Of course, there are plenty of satellites for players to get in cheaper.

The event will be streamed on the GGPokerOfficial Twitch channel with a variety of feature tables with hole cards exposed on a one hour delay.

As the title suggests, the event is a deep-stacked affair with players starting off with 20,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 20 minutes. Unlimited re-entries are available during the first 260 minutes.

Progressive bounties on each player start at $100 with another $100 of the buy-in going to the prize pool along with a $10. The bounties will grow exponentially, making this an exciting final table to watch with player eliminations sometimes worth as much as a pay jump.

partypoker: WPT500

The WPT Online Series guarantees a whopping $30 million across 40 events on May 3-20 at partypoker.

One of the bigger events with a relatively affordable buy-in is the $530 WPT500, featuring a $2 million guarantee.

Players have plenty of opportunities to build a monster stack with plenty of opening flights on May 3 to May 11. Those surviving any of the opening flights will compete on May 11 at 7 p.m. GMT / 3 p.m. EDT until the final table is reached.

The final table will be played out on May 12 starting at 7 p.m. until a winner is crowned.

A smaller version of this event, the WPT50 runs at the same time with a much lower $55 buy-in. Of course, there are plenty of satellites to both of these events.

Here is a look at the full schedule:

PokerStars: SCOOP-24-M: $1,050 NLHE Super Tuesday SE

The SCOOP is the largest of its kind at PokerStars with a mouthwatering $85 million guaranteed across the festival running from April 30 to May 19.
