After a successful debut in 2021, the PokerStars 50/50 Series returns — 50 tournaments with a $50 buy-in, starting Sunday


Sometimes it can be difficult to get to grips with a tournament schedule. Tons of different buy-ins and tons of different formats can make it seem like a minefield.

Not so with the upcoming PokerStars 50/50 Series, where each of 50 tournaments has a buy-in of $50. Fifty at fifty. Get it?

The series kicks off on Sunday, January 30 2022 and runs through Sunday, February 6. That means six tournaments per day Monday-Saturday, and seven on each of the Sundays.

Those additional Sunday tournaments are the undoubted highlights of the series. Each has a buy-in of $50, but you knew that already. The guarantees for these tournaments, however, should make you smile: it’s $1 million apiece.

They are the half-price Sunday Million, on January 30, and the 50/50 Series Main Event, the following week. Both are PKO events, meaning half the entry fee goes into the bounty pool to reward eliminations.

In all, there are guarantees of more than $7.5 million across the series. See full schedule below.
