PokerStars High Rollers Series is offering poker players the chance to win their share of $6 million. The online poker tournament series stretches over the next week and features 19 events.
As the name indicates, this series is geared towards those with bigger bankrolls as the buy-ins range between $215 and $10,300. However, with high buy-ins usually comes big prize pools and this series is no exception.
Every one of the 19 tournaments comes with a guaranteed prize pool of at least $100,000, but most events will award far more than that, as 15 of the 19 events have guaranteed prize pools of at least $150,000.
The highlight of the series is undoubtedly the $1.5 million guaranteed Main Event. Taking place on Sunday March 29, the Main Event will be played as 8-Max NLHE and carry a buy-in of $5200.

But if your bankroll isn’t big enough to enter theses tournaments with their massive prize pools, there is no need to worry as PokerStars is running satellites that allow players to win their way into the High Rollers Series.

PokerStars High Roller Tournament Series History
PokerStars has been holding its High Roller series since 2017. The first running of the series was in November and featured 22 tournaments with a total series guarantee of $11 million. The series was so popular that PokerStars brought it back in March 2018.
Last year however, PokerStars decided to roll its November big buy-in tournaments into its regular weekly schedule under the “High Roller Club” brand.
