And that's not all. PokerStars players based in the United States have even more news to get excited about.
With $5M in guaranteed prizepools across the online festival – including a $500K GTD Main Event – and 90 events to play, the Ignite Series presents the first opportunity to see what a major tournament schedule looks like in PokerStars' new multi-state player pool.
Ignite Series highlights
While the overwhelming majority of Ignite Series events will take place in the no-limit hold'em streets, there's a smattering of pot-limit Omaha tournaments on the schedule as well.
The trio of Main Events – two of which are two-day events and one a single-day – each kick off Sunday, May 3, and together boast close to a million dollars in guaranteed prize money.
The $300 Main Event features a $500K guarantee and will run across a two-day schedule.
The $50 Main Event, with $100K guaranteed, will wrap up in a single day and the $1,500 Main Event, with $250K guaranteed, will follow the two-day schedule.
