PokerStars announces New Year Series — $40m guaranteed through 334 tournaments
Hope you didn't have anything planned from December 25 onwards...
As we approach the end of 2022, it’s time to start preparing for a brand new tournament series on PokerStars, this time in celebration of the upcoming New Year.
Today we can announce details of the New Year Series, 334 tournaments played over the 24 days that turn 2022 into 2023.
The New Year Series runs from December 25 of this year, 2022, through January 17 of next year, 2023.
There’s $40 million in guaranteed prize pools through the series, including $3.75 million for the Main Events, which will be played over three buy-in levels from January 15-17.
Along the way, there’s everything you can expect from a major PokerStars tournament series — tournaments in pretty much every variant, with buy-ins from as little as $2.20, through to a $10K High Roller.
There’s also a 2023-themed special event, taking place on January 1.

“We’re excited to round off the year and ring in 2023 with the New Year Series,” said Chris Straghalis, Director of Online Poker Experience at PokerStars. “We wanted to bring the holiday cheer to our PokerStars community with a range of buy-ins and plenty on offer.”
