Coming on the heels of December’s third Pennsyl-MANIA event, PokerStars and FOX Bet today announced a second running of the Winter Series on PokerStars PA.
This year’s PokerStars PA Winter Series runs from Jan. 21-31 and features 45 tournaments with guaranteed prize pools totaling more than $1 million.
Both the number of tournaments and the amount of guarantees represent significant increases over the inaugural PokerStars PA Winter Series in Jan. 2020. That series featured 30 events and $675,000 in total guarantees with players ultimately winning over $828,000.
This time around the 45 tournaments have guarantees adding up to just over $1 million.
The $300 buy-in Main Event that starts Jan. 31 has a $200,000 guarantee, double the $100,000 guarantee of a year ago. Last year the event also cost $300 to play and attracted 452total entries to create a prize pool of just over $126,000.
There is also a new $1,000 High Roller scheduled this year for Jan. 27 with a $50,000 guarantee.
PokerStars PA Winter Series highlights include:
Besides the usual full menu of no-limit hold’em, the schedule features a few scattered non-NLHE offerings. These include pot-limit Omaha, no-limit Omaha hi-lo, five-card PLO, no-limit five-card draw, H.O.R.S.E., and 8-game mixed events.
As usual, PokerStars PA is offering a number of satellites, freerolls, and other ways for players to win tournament tickets.
There will be a Depositor Freeroll on Jan. 31. Anyone who deposits $30 or more using the code “FREEZE” before the freeroll starts wins a seat. The tournament will award $10,000 worth of entries into that day’s $300 Main Event.
Throughout the Winter Series there will also be Second Chance Freerolls in which players can win seats to events. Anyone eliminated shy of the money in a Winter Series event earns entry into the Second Chance Freerolls which take place daily throughout the series.
