Pokerstars launches new poker tournament with recreational players in mind.

By RP, March 4, 2017

PokerStars has introduced a new live tournament series aimed at recreational players, according to a company statement Friday.

Titled Megastack the series is designed to bring live poker to players’ doorstep at a low buy-in level, to create a good live poker experience, and to offer players a platform on which to build their poker career towards competing in the PokerStars Championship and PokerStars Festival events.

Megastack will debut at The Hippodrome Casino London from April 7 – 9, 2017. Players qualify through one of the many satellites PokerStars is offering.

London is just the start, the company statement advises; more events are planned across the UK with some of Europe’s favourite destinations scheduled for coming months.

Players who pay the GBP170 buy-in (or win a seat in a satellite) will start with 50,000 chips. There are also three opening flights with one re-entry available for each of them, so plenty of time and chips to enjoy the action.

Megastack events at the Hippodrome will take place from Friday to Sunday, on the dates below:

• April 7th – 9th
• May 5th – 7th
• June 30th – July 2nd
• September 22nd – 24th
• October 20th – 22nd
