If you have been on the fence about joining your fellow PokerNews readers in our PokerStars Home Games now is the time to take the plunge and get in on the action because April is crammed full of added value.
Every day in April, at 8:00 p.m. GMT, there is a PokerNews Home Game that has a buy-in from $0.11 up to $1.10, which makes them open and accessible to all. In addition to traditional No-Limit Hold’em tournaments, you can get your teeth into deepstacks, heads-up battles, Pot-Limit Omaha, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, H.O.R.S.E, 8-Game Mix, and even cash games!
The champion of each tournament receives a ticket worth between $5.50 and $55 on top of their payout, but if the tournament has more than 20 runners in it, PokerNews will double that prize, meaning someone could win a $109 ticket in the final event on the April schedule! Let your poker-playing friends know about the PokerNews Discord channel and our incredible value PokerStars Home Games, and get those added prizes boosted!
It is not only the champions that benefit from some added extras but the best-performing players over the month of April. You earn leaderboard points based on your finishing position in the No-Limit Hold’em events, with the top ten points earners come the end of April winning a ticket worth between $11 and $215. Tot up those prizes and the added extras and you arrive at $750 worth of added value, although that swells to more than $1,000 if each Home Game attracts more than 20 players!

|---|---|
| 1 | $215 |
| 2 | $109 |
| 3 | $55 |

April PokerNews Home Games at PokerStars Schedule
The Monday Mix sees a different non-Hold’em game run each week, one with a $0.55 buy-in and a $5.50 ticket on top for the champion. As we know not everyone plays mixed games, you do not earn leaderboard points for Monday Mix tournaments
Tuesday is the day for rebuy enthusiasts because the Tuesday Tackle is a $0.11 rebuy affair with an additional $5.50 ticket added into the mix.
Cash game players can get in on the action during Wednesday’s Midweek Madness. Taking place on NL2 ($0.01/$0.02) 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em tables, whoever posts a screenshot in the battleground server in our Discord channel showing the largest stack receives an $11 tournament ticket. Midweek Madness runs from 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. GMT.
Thursdays are reserved for Pot-Limit Omaha aficionados, or those wanting to try PLO tournaments. 4 Card Thursday sees you head into battle in some $0.55 PLO events, which although do not count for leaderboard purposes, do have a $5.50 ticket added for the eventual winner.
Friday Fisticuffs, as the name suggests, is dedicated to $1.10 buy-in Progressive Knockout (PKO), while the weekend starts with the Saturday Showdown, a series of $0.55 buy-in heads-up tournaments!
Round the week off with the $1.10 buy-in Sunday Sloberknocker, a deepstack NLHE event, with the final Sunday of the month, April 30, seeing an $11 Sunday Super KO tournament take place that has a $55 ticket for the winner on top of any prize money.
Don’t forget, any of the tournaments that see more than 20 entrants has their added prize doubled in value!
