PokerStars Stadium Series

PokerStars has created a brand new online poker tournament series that has a cool $50 million worth of guaranteed prize pools waiting to be won.

The PokerStars Stadium Series runs from July 5 and continues through to August 2. The four-week festival sees 102 tournaments with buy-ins starting at only $5.50 and increasing up to $5,200. Three events with low, medium and high buy-ins run every day Monday through Saturday. Sunday sees six action-packed events scheduled.

There are two types of tournaments throughout the week: Stadium Series Heats and Sunday Series Sunday Finals. Finishing high in the Heats grants you a ticket to that weekend’s Sunday Final where massive prizes await. Reach the final table of a Sunday Final and PokerStars grants you free ticket to the Stadium Series Grand Final worth $5,200 and that gives you a shot at a prize pool of at least $5 million.

A trio of Grand Finals take place on August 2, all three are huge and are played as a freezeout. The $5.50 Low Grand Final features a $1 million guarantee, the $530 Medium Grand Final has $2 million guaranteed, while the $5,200 High Grand Final boasts of a $5 million guaranteed prize pool.

Stadium Series Trials

There are $235,000 worth of Stadium Series tickets to be won in the Stadium Series Trials. This is a leaderboard than runs until August 1 and has 25x $5,200 Grand Final tickets and 100x $1,050 Stadium Series Fast Track Final tickets up for grabs.

Get involved by opting into the Stadium Series Trials in the Challenges Window of your PokerStars account. Then play as many multi-table tournaments as possible because you’ll earn one point for every $1 you spend on MTT buy-ins.

The top 25 points earners walk away with a $5,200 Stadium Series Grand Final while those finishing in 25-125th bank a $1,050 Fast Track Final, which is a satellite for the Grand Final.
