Something for Everyone

The inaugural PokerStars Blowout Series will kick off on the final Sunday of 2020 – December 27. It will begin with one of several Big Blowout tournaments on the schedule, a $109 buy-in with a $5 million guarantee.

Most of the events in the lineup will offer three buy-in levels. The 88 events in that category will each have a low, medium, and high level. The four Sunday Big Blowouts will stand on their own with just one buy-in each. That puts the total for the series at 268 tournaments.

The full slate of events will guarantee a total of $60 million.

PokerStars Managing Director and Commercial Officer Severin Rasset noted that 2020 was a unique year and deserves a unique tournament to usher it out. “We have a variety of buy-ins for our Big Blowout Sunday events with $5 million guaranteed, giving all players in our community the opportunity to play in these special events. We also have our New Year’s Bash on January 1st where we hope to see many players come together to ring in 2021.”
