PokerStars 50/50 Series

The PokerStars 50/50 Series returns on November 12 and features, as its name suggests, 50 tournaments costing $50 to enter. The only place the number 50 falls down is regarding the combined guarantees on the prize pools because they weigh in at an impressive $3 million.

The 50/50 Series has a tournament to suit everyone, with standard No-Limit Hold'em events joined on the schedule by Pot-Limit Omaha, 2-7 Triple Draw, 6+ Holdem, and even H.O.R.S.E. You'll find various formats from traditional progressive knockouts,heads-up tournaments, Zoom-powered games, and two brand-new additions to series.

The Açai is a six-handed No-Limit Hold'em PKO tournament that will surely get players' pulses racing. Those looking for a more relaxed experience should check out the nightly Copacabana tournament, which is an eight-handed No-Limit Hold'em that allows up to three re-entries.

Two 50/50 Series Main Events round off the festival on November 19. PLO grinders should log into their PokerStars accounts for 7:30 p.m. GMT on November 19 if they want to fight it out for the largest slice of the $40,000 guaranteed prize pool.

It should not be surprising to learn that the largest guaranteed tournament on the 50/50 Series schedule is the No-Limit Hold'em Main Event. The NLHE Main Event is a two-day tournament that boasts a $400,000 guarantee on its prize pool! Day 1 shuffles up and deals at 5:30 p.m. on November 19, and concludes just short of seven hours later. Surviving players return to the virtual felt from 5:30 p.m. GMT on November 20 to bring the Main Event and the 50/50 Series to a thrilling conclusion.
