is bringing back the $1 million guaranteed Red Spade Open in December after the $55 buy-in tournament took a hiatus in 2016. A staple at PokerStars every autumn since its debut in 2011, the event did not take place in 2016, but is back in the Events tab of the PokerStars client with satellites already running.
PokerStars launched the Red Spade Open event just six months after Black Friday in 2011, and began as a $55 buy-in $1 million guarantee with a $200,000 first-place prize.
