PokerStars - Red Spade Open

PokerStars held its first ever Red Spade Open on Sunday, July 31, and the event was so popular and so successful that they’ve decided to do it again before the year’s up. The hope is that Red Spade Open will be a biannual event.

It stands in for the PokerStars Bigger $55 weekly event, and if it goes well, it could occur even more often than that.

For those that missed the first go-round, Red Spade Open is a PokerStars exclusive No Limit Texas Hold 'em poker tournament. And just like this summer, it boasts a $1,000,000 prize pool and $200,000 in the bag for the top spot.

Despite all the guaranteed money, the Red Slade Open has a rather modest buy-in at just $55. If that’s too much, players have options: Spend PartyPoints in lieu of real money, or come in through the backdoor (qualifiers).

What sets Red Spade Open from other online tourneys, other than the superb pay-in to payout ratio, is the bounty system. Knock out any of the PokerStars pros (indicated by a red spade in the client) to get a cool $100 bonus.

There are at least 60 professional poker players on Team PokerStars, and they will all be participating in the Red Spade Open. All a player has to do is target one of them and knock them off in order to cover their buy-in.

If you do not yet have a PokerStars account, this is the time to open it. Satellite qualifiers for the Red Slade Open are running right now, and they will continue to run around the clock every day of the week for as little as $1.10.

Or open your account with at least $55, and then buy your way in on Sunday, November 20 at 3:00 PM ET. If you would prefer to spend PartyPoints, you can buy your seat at the PokerStars VIP store for just 3,100 FPPs.

To find all Red Slade Open related events, enter the PokerStars lobby via the client, select ‘Tourney’, select ‘Special,’ and then type ‘Red’ in the filter box to narrow the results. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing you there!
