The Inaugural PokerStars Summer Stacks Begins This Weekend in Pennsylvania, Michigan, & New Jersey

After a successful Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) series in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan, PokerStars will be hosting a brand new online poker series in these three states in the Summer Stacks Festival from June 12 to June 28.

Each state boasts a schedule of 100 events with affordable buy-ins. The festival will guarantee $1 million in Pennsylvania with another $1 million guaranteed in Michigan, while the festival in New Jersey guarantees at least $500,000 in prize money.

This festival is a bit different than what we have witnessed from PokerStars in the past as the online poker operator aims to provide a casual series format featuring a number of turbo formats, shorter events, and affordable buy-ins ranging from $5 to $100.
