PokerStars US Announces Winter Series W/ $5 Million In Prizes
Online poker players in North America looking for early tournament action this year are in luck as PokerStars US announced its Winter Series with $5 million in prize money in the markets of Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario.
The PokerStars Winter Series, running Jan. 12-29 is headlined by $300 buy-in Main Event Championships across three festivals (ON, PA, Shared Liquidity).
Over in Pennsylvania, there will be 85 events with $1.5 million in guarantees across them. Meanwhile, Michigan and New Jersey players will have 85 events to choose from with $2.25 million in guaranteed prize money. In Ontario, there will be 120 events with $1.7 million CAD up for grabs.

PokerStars will be running a Depositor Freeroll, meaning a $50 deposit will get players a ticket for a freeroll where they can earn an entry into the Main Event.
There will also be a bust out promotion where players who bust out of the series will earn a $5 Casino and $5 Spin & Go bonus. Play at the PokerStars Casino for other opportunities to win Winter Series tickets.
