The PokerStars US Summer Stacks Series, which began July 9, is nearing its conclusion. But there’s still time to get in on some of the juicy action for players in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
In fact, the biggest event of them all — the $100 buy-in Main Event — hasn’t even started. That online poker tournament kicks off this Sunday, June 25, and has a guaranteed $100,000 prize pool for PA players, and $125,000 for those on the shared client in NJ or MI. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better value for such a low buy-in on any US online poker site this entire summer.
If that hasn’t piqued your interest enough, you can actually play in this tournament without having to pay the $100 buy-in. All you have to do is make a deposit of $50 or more into your PokerStars account while using the code “SUMMERSTACKS” by 1:59 p.m. ET on July 25 and you’ll be automatically entered into a Depositor Freeroll where you can win free entry into the Main Event.

Additionally, players who deposit $150 or more will receive a $30 Summer Stacks ticket on top of the Depositor Freeroll seat. Essentially, you’re looking at having a chance to win upwards of $20,000 or more without spending a dime. And if you don’t think that’s probable, there’s a solid possibility that the Main Event winner will be someone who entered the Depositor Freeroll.
The Summer Stacks Series, available across all PokerStars US platforms, will wrap June 26 having paid out a minimum of $1,250,000 across 100 events. Every tournament within the series has been priced at $100 or less, creating great value for the low-stakes grinders. These events have given poker players in three states with legal online poker a shot at building their bankrolls with minimal investment.
