Key Takeaways
- The site’s biggest tournament of the week, the Sunday Special, is set to become even bigger: Its guarantee has been doubled from 12 Lac ($17,820) to 25 Lac ($37,125).
- PokerStars’ flagship tournament, the Sunday Storm, will see a bump of almost a factor of ten, from a guarantee of INR 50,000 ($743) to 5 Lac ($7,425).
- The Sunday High-Roller, previously with a buy-in of INR 15,000 ($223), has been removed from the schedule due to lack of interest.
PokerStars.IN, the Indian segregated poker room of The Stars Group, made further changes to its weekly tournament schedule, increasing its overall guarantees by 40%. It has also dropped the buy-in in other tournaments, pulled poorly performing MTTs and removed some Spin and Go buy-ins.
The changes take effect Monday. The schedule now boasts over 1 Crore (USD 150,000) in guaranteed prizes every week, across 215 tournaments.
“We’re increasing tournament guarantees and introducing exciting new tournaments from June 11! Our tournament schedule now promises more choice, bigger guarantees and even more excitement,” the company wrote on its website.
