With all tournaments priced at $100 and less, all players can get involved, and those who perform best in the $100 Main Event, in addition to handsome cash prizes, can also look forward to exclusive opportunities to win a seat in the upcoming North American Poker Tour.

Colorful and Fun Schedule
With affordable buy-ins and a massive schedule of 100 tournaments, the series represents an excellent alternative for those players who aren’t in a position to travel to the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Players can look forward to a colorful mix of games and variations, with several Mystery Bounties, PKOs, and popular Mini Summer events in the mix. While Texas Hold’em will be the name of the game, there are also several tournaments featuring variants like PLO, NLO8, HORSE, 2-7 Triple Draw, and even Big O.
Buy-ins start at just $20, and there is plenty of action available between $20 and $50. For those with slightly bigger bankrolls, there is also a fair number of $100 events. And with the entire schedule packed in just over two weeks, there are at least four or five events taking place every day, and even more on weekends.
One tournament that you’ll definitely want to play is Summer Stack #14 – $30 Mini Sunday Special, which comes with a guarantee of $125,000, which is actually the largest guarantee of the series. The Summer Stack #100 – $25 Phase Refresh is worth a shout as well, featuring a pretty generous promise of at least $25,000.
Red Spade Sunday Main Event: $100k GTD & Path to NAPT
The $100 Red Spade Sunday on June 22 will double as the Main Event of the Summer Stack Series. The tournament features a guarantee of $100,000 plus a $14,000 Gold Pass for the winner.
On top of this, those finishing near the top will also get a shot to qualify for the North American Poker Tour in Las Vegas, making the event an even more appealing proposition.
Of course, there will be many opportunities to qualify for the Main Event seat as well via regular satellites and special freerolls accompanying the series. Thus, even those with smaller bankrolls will be able to get in the mix and have their shot at this fun event.
The Main Event itself will be a two-day affair, with the first day finishing after six hours of play. Day 2 takes place on June 23 and plays down to the winner.
The Summer Stack Series is running on the combined PokerStars NJ/MI network, PokerStars PA, and PokerStars Ontario, and all players are invited to join the sizzling hot action and fight it out on the virtual felt!
