50/50 Series by PokerStars: $3M in Prizes This November
Following the series "50/50" on Tiger Gaming, the top poker platform PokerStars also decided to hold a festival with a similar name. Of course, everything will be much bigger on the Red spade room – the total guarantee of the new "50/50" series will be $3,000,000.
The mini-festival for 50 tournaments will be held from November 12 to 19. The cost of buy-ins to all events of the series is $50.
In the schedule you can find not only classic Hold'em and Omaha tournaments. Players can also compete in H.O.R.S.E., 2-7 Triple Draw, 8-Game and other mixed disciplines. Pokerstars decided not to limit themselves to the usual formats and offer interesting options for their players, so during the series you will be able to test your strength not only at traditional PKO tables, but also in heads-up and zoom tournaments.
Guarantees in 50/50 events will range from $10,000 to $400,000. Two Hold'em and Omaha Main tournaments will be held on November 19th, the last day of the series:
- #46 NLHE Main Event with $400,000 GTD;
- #48 PLO Main Event with $40,000 GTD.
The NLHE Main Event will span two days, with all players surviving Day 1 meeting on November 20th to complete the festival.
The detailed schedule of the festival is already available in the lobby of the PokerStars client.

How the 100% First Deposit Bonus works
Once you’ve made your deposit, you need to earn redemption points by playing real money games. Unless stated otherwise, you will earn 5 redemption points for every USD $1 you pay in rake or tournament fees (6.5 points per £1, 4 points per CAD $1, or 5.5 points per EUR €1).
Every time you reach 180 redemption points we’ll credit your Stars Account with $10 cash. You have four months after each qualifying deposit to earn all the redemption points needed to release your bonus.
You may only take advantage of one of our first deposit offers, but may be eligible for further deposit bonuses open to existing players. You can view any bonuses you have, alongside information on expiry dates, redemption point requirements and more, under the ‘My Stars’ menu.
Please note that redemption points will not be earned at pot-limit or no-limit tables with blinds of $5/$10 or higher, 8-game tables with stakes of $20/$40 or higher, or other limit games with stakes of $20/$40 or higher.
