The PokerStars reboot on the FanDuel platform hit the ground running with the re-introduction of the Sunday Million last weekend. After a hiatus lasting the better part of 15 years, the iconic weekly tournament has made its triumphant return.
And that's not all. PokerStars players based in the United States have even more news to get excited about.
The Ignite Series kicks off April 18 and runs through to May 4, providing three weeks of tournament action with buy-ins for players of all bankroll sizes.
And it's all exclusive to players in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania on PokerStars on FanDuel.
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.
There are a number of additional highlights on the Ignite Series schedule, including:
