PokerStars promises €21 million during Galactic Series

(PRESS RELEASE) -- More than €21 million is guaranteed at PokerStars shared liquidity during the two and a half weeks of Southern Europe’s biggest ever tournament series, the Galactic Series. The new series will consist of 186 events and boasts a €15 million guarantee, equaling the combined guarantees of both the TRIO and the SCOOP series held earlier this year.

The brand-new series which runs from 26 August-13 September, kicks off with the €50 Warm UP Special Edition with a €175,000 guarantee and on 9 September will host the biggest Main Event guarantee ever for players in Spain, France and Portugal.

Some of the top tournaments include:

• 26 August-5 September: The €20 Hercules Flighted Event with €300,000 guaranteed.

Players can get in on the action by buying in directly or by winning one of 400 Main Event tickets, each worth €250, which are being given away as part of a €100,000 Main Event Depositor Freeroll. To enter the freeroll players must make a €50 deposit into their Stars Account using the code ‘GALACTIC.’

There will also be a variety of opportunities for players to be part of the series at a fraction of the cost, with a total of over €200,000 worth of Galactic Series tickets being given away from 27 August-13 September, including the Main Event Depositor Freeroll, Galactic Daily Challenge and Second Chance Freerolls.
