PokerStars US kicked off the summer in style with May’s Ballers and Brawlers poker series. Ballers and Brawlers bring the familiarity of low, medium, and high-tiered events to a 10-day festival of No Limit Hold’em and Mixed Game events.
The Ballers and Brawlers series will kick off this Friday, May 12, and will run through Monday, May 22. The festival will guarantee $2.5 million in prize pools across Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania player pools with a combined Main Event pool of $250,000.
The schedule features progressive knock-out tournaments along with prestigious high-roller events, whether you are a Baller, Brawler, or both – there’s something for everyone.
The opening weekend gets underway in style with the $100K Baller Special and Brawler Mini Special with a $40K guaranteed. PokerStars US favorites “The Nightly Benjamin” and “The Jackson Jab” have had a B&B makeover as part of the enhanced tournament schedule.
Also featured in the 60+ event schedule are accessible mixed-game Brawler opportunities to play PLO8, Stud Hi/Lo, and more.
