Starting today and running through January 31, the Lone Star Poker Series (LSPS) is holding its second-ever stop. The LSPS, the brainchild of poker couple Kim Stone and Hayden Fortini, is at Houston's Champions Social for a 16-event series culminating in a $600 buy-in, $200K GTD Main Event.

PokerNews is slated to offer periodic updates here throughout the series, which will be your one-stop-shop for all things Lonestar Poker Series including photos, side event recaps, chip counts, and more.

Today, the $400 buy-in, $100K GTD Kickoff event gets underway. There will be two starting flights today and two more tomorrow, Saturday, January 23, for a total of four flights. The survivors from each will return on Sunday, January 24 to play down to a winner.

Also on the upcoming schedule are a $300 NLH Ladies Event awarding a Tiffany Bracelet, the Event #8: $400 Triple Draw 3-Game Mix, and a $600 PLO Championship featuring a $25,000 guarantee. For more details and a look at the full schedule, check out the chart below.

The stop will culminate in the $600 buy-in, $200K GTD Main Event, which will offer four starting flights. On Friday, January 29, Flight A will take place at 11 a.m. local time followed by Flight B at 5 p.m. Flights C and D will take place at the same times on Saturday, January 30 before the survivors from all four flights return to play down to a winner on Sunday, January 31.

In addition to a PokerNews blog, the Lonestar Poker Series will also feature daily live-streams from cash games, final table action from most events, and even Day 1s from the Main.

The Lone Star Poker Series debuted last October at Prime Social Club in Houston, Texas. The series, which offered more than $300,000 in guaranteed prize pools over 16 tournaments, proved to be a big success as Oziel Zuniga topped a 660-entry field to win the Main Event for $45,960 after a three-way deal.

Champions Social is known as being a large and spacious room with a full restaurant and bar. They offer any poker game of any size in either the main room, a private secondary room, or their secluded VIP room. What sets them apart from the competition is that they are the only room in Texas that has automatic shufflers on every game. They also offer Vietnamese Poker, Open-Face Chinese Poker, and electronic Mahjong tables for players who want to enjoy more variety.
