PokerStars is now offering another $1 million guaranteed tournament in the form of the Red Spade Open Online Poker Event. Taking place in the form of a $55 buy-in NL Holdem event, the Red Spade Open
The reason the event is called the Red Spade Open is because it’s also a bounty tournament, with bounties of $100 a piece on the seats of certain members of PokerStars pro and online teams demarcated by a red spade symbol beside their name. Cash in from bounties independent of whether you cash in the actual event.
The PokerStars Red Spade Open Online Poker Event takes place on Sunday, November 20 at 3:00 pm ET. This will take the time slot of the weekly PokerStars Bigger $55 Tourney that normally happens at this time slot and will return as of the Sunday of the week following, November 27. The Red Spade Open boasts a $1 million guaranteed prize pool with a guaranteed first prize of at least $200,000.
Besides paying the $55 direct buy-in, there are several other ways to get a seat in the Red Spade Open. You can enter satellites for the event running around the clock for buy-ins as low as $1.10. Or you can purchase your seat with Frequent Player Points from the VIP Store. Cost depends on your status in the PokerStars VIP Club, but you could land yourself a seat in the event for as little as 3,100 FPP.
You can find the Red Spade Open registration button in both the Special and Tourney tabs of your PokerStars software.
