Building on prior success
In 2025, the Philadelphia series was the first-ever PokerStars Open tour stop in North America and exceeded expectations with across the board. The 2025 Main Event drew a field of 1,154 entries to more than double its set guarantee.
After a grueling 18-hour final day of play, Edward Leonard, Guan Huang, and Frank Funaro struck a deal to chop up the remaining prize money. Leonard came away with the lion's share of $147,806, along with the PokerStars Open Philadelphia Main Event Champion title.
Based on the success of the 2025 series, PokerStars will return with a similarly-attractive slate of events in 2026.
Additionally, you can qualify for the PokerStars Open Philadelphia via affordable online satellites that start as low as $10.
