PokerStars US is giving away free seats into an upcoming live poker series to those who qualify on special dates on the popular online poker site.

On July 23, the online poker qualifying began and three players during the PokerStars US Sunset Series earned spots into the Summer Series at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, which features a jaw-dropping $1 million prize pool.

Seats Up for Grabs

There’s still one more opportunity for players to earn a live poker package for as little as $20 beginning July 20.

The first qualifier the other week was a $5 satellite into the $550 buy-in tournament at Live! Casino, which also included $700 worth of travel expenses. On the Michigan/New Jersey shared platform, “Zlajamiest” took it down and will be heading to Philadelphia on August 25 to compete in the $200,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tournament. Over in Pennsylvania, “spookiewalt1” earned the $1,250 package.

A July 28 satellite cost $10 to enter and awarded a travel package for two players — one on each platform — into the Sept. 1 $1,100 buy-in event, a $300,000 guaranteed tournament.

On Sunday, July 30, there will be a $20 qualifier into the $500,000 guaranteed tournament ($2,200 buy-in), which takes place on Sept. 8.

With multiple Day 1 starting flights offered for each of the three big events, players who win qualifiers can choose when to play. The packages include hotel accommodations at the host venue, a five-star property.

During this same period (July 27-August 3), the PokerStars US sites are offering a special reload bonus up to $500.

Head to the 888poker tournament lobby and look for “PokerNews” in the restricted section of the tournament listings. The first freeroll in June, the PokerNews Discord Freeroll, shuffles up and deals at 8:00 p.m. GMT on August 6 and sees you sit down with 3,000 chips and play to a ten-minute clock where the blinds start at only 15/30. That’s 100 big blinds to battle with! The structure is superb for a free-to-play tournament; having a $150 prize pool serves as an added bonus.

The freeroll also offers 30 minutes of late registration, so if you are unable to make it for the official start, then do not worry. You’ll also notice that each freeroll tournament is played as No-Limit Hold’em, so if you are new to the game, then head over to the Texas Hold’em rules page to get to grips with the basics and test your new learnings.

Less than two weeks after the Daniel Weinman was crowned 2023 World Series of Poker champion, the schedule has been released for both the 2023 WSOP Europe (WSOPE) series and the 2023-2024 WSOP Circuit (WSOPC) International tour.

About one month following the conclusion of the WSOPE series, the World Series of Poker is heading to the Bahamas for the first ever WSOP Paradise bracelet event series. There are 15 additional bracelets to be awarded in December, but the full schedule hasn’t yet been released. Poker players should anticipate the release to occur well before the European series.

There will be some competition this coming winter between WSOP Paradise, World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, and the European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague series.

World Series of Poker Europe Schedule Highlights

King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic will again play host to the World Series of Poker Europe this fall from October 25 until November 15. In between those dates, poker players will find 15 bracelet events scattered around with €15 million guarantees up for grabs.

The main event is, of course, the Main Event, a €10,350 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament with €5 million guaranteed beginning Nov. 10. Last year’s winner was Omar Eljach who took home €1,380,129.

Beyond the Main Event, there are a number of tournaments for all types of poker players, including the mixed game pros, such as the €2,200 8-Game Mix (Nov. 8). There are also two pot-limit Omaha tournaments on the 2023 WSOP Europe schedule, along with a €50,000 Diamond High Roller No-Limit Hold’em starting Nov. 12.

WSOP Europe does not factor into the 2023 WSOP Player of the Year race, which wrapped up in Las Vegas earlier this month with Ian Matakis coming out victorious.
