For PokerStars players based in North America, the new year is about to get a serious kick-start as the site's Winter Series brings 18 days of non-stop action and $4.5M in guaranteed prize pools.
The Winter Series starts January 17 and runs through to February 3, giving PokerStars players in Ontario, Pennsylvania, and the shared liquidity pool of Michigan and New Jersey the chance to compete for a Winter Series title and their slice of the massive prize pools. With buy-ins starting at just $5, and ranging up to $1,000, there's an event for players of all bankroll sizes.
Kevin Luyo, Head of Poker at PokerStars North America, said: “Get ready to shuffle up and win big this winter! We are delighted to bring the Winter Series to players in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, and New Jersey with 89 thrilling events designed for all skill levels.
"Whether you are a seasoned pro or a rising star, this is your chance to chase the glory and heat up your game.”
Each of the three PokerStars North America territories – Ontario, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and New Jersey – boasts a Winter Series schedule with $1.5M guaranteed across the 89 events.
Winter Series schedule highlights
Amongst the 89-event schedule are a few highlights worth noting, first and foremost being the $300 buy-in Main Events which take place on February 2 and offer a $175,000 guaranteed prize pool.
For the elite-level high rollers, there's plenty to get excited about, including the High Roller Main Event on February 2 with $75,000 guaranteed. The Winter Series schedules also includes the $1,000 Thursday Thrill Super High Roller with $40,000 guaranteed and the $500 Sunday High Roller and Super Tuesday High Roller, with $50,000 and $40,000 guarantees respectively.
For low-stakes players, $10 and $20 events will run across the entire series, meaning you don't have to miss out on the action due to buy-in constraints.
