Winter Series

The Winter Series at PokerStars.com had $40 million in combined guaranteed prize pools across 240 separate events, but after almost a quarter of a million poker players flocked to the PokerStars tables between Dec. 12 �C Jan. 18, the total prize money awarded during Winter Series hit $51.2 million.

More than 244,000 unique players made approximately two million entries across the 240 Winter Series events. These impressive figures continued in the Southern Europe Winter Series that incorporated PokerStars�� Spain, France and Portugal sites where the �20 million guarantee was beaten by �2.2 million.

PokerStars�� Winter Series held in Italy, New Jersey and India had combined guarantees of $6.3 million yet a cool $8.3 million was awarded to those players.

Winter Series Main Events Awarded Massive Prizes

The highlight of the PokerStars.com Winter Series was the $2,100 buy-in High Main Event, a tournament that attracted 1,129 entries who battled for a slice of the $2,258,000 prize pool. A total of 143 players received prize money for their efforts, a min-cash worth $4,549, a final table appearance boosting this sum to $37,473 and the eventual champion scooping almost $360,000.

Ireland��s ��ArtHouse2011�� was that champion, an accolade that came with a $359,703 score. ArtHouse2011 defeated the Swedish superstars Johannes ��Greenstone25�� Korsar heads-up, resigning the Swede to a $260,391 consolation prize; Korsar now has more than $12 million in online poker tournament winnings.

More massive prizes were awarded in the $215 buy-in Winter Series Medium Main Event. Bulgaria��s ��dubl_ace_420�� and Russia��s ��Dancer King�� made a deal when heads-up that saw the latter secure a $242,110 payout when they fell in second-place. The champion walked away $246,573 richer.

The $22 buy-in Low Main Event saw a massive field of 44,718 players take to the PokerStars felt and, unsurprisingly, the tournament ended in a four-way deal. Second-through-fourth-place won prizes ranging between $44,075 and $48,632 with Brazil��s ��brunoporto12�� getting their hands on $77,288 for their $22 investment.

Despite first-place in the $2.20 buy-in Micro Main Event being 4,245 times the buy-in, this tournament did not end in a deal. This meant Peru��s ��kbcitas�� turned their $2.20 buy-in into an impressive $9,341.
