With recently concluded SCOOP events that took place across all three PokerStars USA sites, the operator has turned its attention to a new series. Aptly named the Summer Stacks Series, it offers a combined prize pool of $2.5 million (for all three sites) and very affordable events with buy-ins under $100.
The Main Events will cost $100 to enter, but the good news is that PokerStars is running a special depositors’ promo where everyone can get an entry into special freerolls awarding Main Event tickets.
All players looking to get involved can do so by making a deposit of at least $30 and using the special bonus code SUMMER21
. This will give them a ticket for the freeroll event scheduled to take place on June 27, a few hours before the Main Event.
Each freeroll will award a grand total of 100 tournament entries, which equates to $10,000 in prizes, so it’s a pretty decent prize fund for a freeroll.
- Available in all three states: Running in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania
- Bankroll-friendly events: all buy-ins under $100
- Big prizes up for grabs:$500,000 guaranteed in NJ and $1 million guaranteed in PA and MI!
Heaps of Value to Be Had
Although the Summer Stacks Series features relatively smaller buy-ins overall, Main Events are definitely worth the attention. Across the three sites, there is a quarter of a million guaranteed, broken down as follows:
- PokerStars NJ:: $50,000 Guaranteed Main Event
- PokerStars MI: $100,000 Guaranteed Main Event
- PokerStars PA: 100,000 Guaranteed Main Event
The Main Events are scheduled for Sunday, June 27, in all three states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. These will be two-day tournaments, so there will be plenty of play for a relatively modest buy-in.
Plus, with the Summer Stacks Depositors Freeroll promo, 100 players will get a shot at the Main Event without having to pay the full price. A simple deposit of $30 will qualify you for this freeroll, and any money you end up cashing out in the Main Event will be yours to keep without any restrictions.
Two Weeks Filled With Action & More Freerolls
The Main Event may be the pinnacle of the Summer Stacks Series, but tournament players across all three PokerStars US sites will have plenty of opportunity to test their skills and fight it out in a numerous events.
There will be at least 100 tournaments taking place between June 12 and June 28, all featuring lower buy-ins and mostly faster structures. Players will thus be able to get involved with the Series even if they do not have much time at their disposal.
Over the course of the Summer Stacks Series, all players who bust out near the money bubble in any of the events will also get tickets for the next day’s Second Chance Freerolls. Over the course of the Series, $10,000 worth of Main Event tickets will be dished out through these.
These Second Chance Freerolls will give out other tickets for the Summer Stacks events as well, so this is a lot of added value that MTT grinders will likely appreciate.
In addition to many Hold’em tournaments, the Series features numerous other variations. There are PLO, Razz, Stud, and even HORSE events scattered throughout the schedule. So there is definitely something for every taste and, with buy-ins starting as low as $5, for every bankroll as well.
