Introducing Ace Chase, a new PokerStars cash game promotion where you could win cash prizes by winning hands holding an ace.
You grab some chips from your stack and give them a quick shuffle before noticing the dealer is almost ready to pitch cards your way. The first of your two hole cards lands in front of you. Usually you’d wait until it’s your turn to act, but this time you can’t resist taking a quick peek as the dealer works their way around the table. You grip the card with one hand, shield it from view with the other, and slowly peel it up.
It’s an ace.
Now, if that little passage got your blood pumping and heart racing, then we know you’re a real poker player.
Getting dealt an ace in a poker game is a fantastic feeling. The anticipation of which card might be coming next is even better.
But imagine if simply holding one ace in your hand suddenly meant you had a shot of winning up to $2,500 daily…
That’s exactly what Ace Chase – PokerStars’ new cash game promotion – does. It turns every ace into a huge opportunity.
HOW ACE CHASE WORKS
Dates: October 1-21, 2026
Stakes: $0.05 – $2 big blind

Ace Chase will run on PokerStars from October 1-21, 2026. Here’s how it works.
It’s always great having an ace in your hand, but in Ace Chase, it’s crucial to success.
If you manage to win a hand when holding an ace, you will secure one target. Players must secure four targets (ie, win four hands holding an ace) in one day to receive a random score between 1 and 10, and that will go towards your position on a daily $3,000 leader board.
You can have three attempts at getting the best total leader board score per day (one attempt = winning four hands with an ace).
There’s $500 up top every single day, so it’s well worth going for!
And it means you’ve got to make every ace count.
We’re not saying you should play with reckless abandon – that’s a great way of blowing through your bankroll. But you should certainly put up a fight if you want to get your name high on the daily leader boards.
YOUR SECRET MISSION (IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT)
There’s another twist to Ace Chase that is not only exciting, but potentially lucrative.
Head to the Challenges Window in your PokerStars client and you’ll uncover your own personal daily target.
Complete it, and you could win up to 1,000 times the big blind stakes you’re playing for–which means you could win up to $2,000!
Best of luck, ace chasers.
