New Year Brings Plenty of New Poker Tournaments

Do you love poker? New Jersey’s online poker sites have a whole lotta action for you this month.

First up: PokerStars NJ’s Winter Series tournament event. The special series runs from January 18 to January 26, and includes 21 tournaments with $300,000 in total prize-pool guarantees.

Highlights include:

  • $60,000 guaranteed Winter Series Main Event on January 26
  • Depositor Freeroll, with $8,000 in total prizes
  • All-in Shootouts, awarding $8,000 worth of prizes

The depositor freeroll requires a simple $30 deposit in your PokerStars account to get an entry into the January 26 freeroll. The Top 20 finishers will win a $400 seat to the Winter Series Main Event. There will also be daily Spin & Go tournaments that could lead to Main Event tickets.

The second chance events will be held daily. If you bust out of a Winter Series event without cashing, you’ll automatically receive a ticket to a Second Chance All-in Shootout.

All-in Shootouts take place daily at 6:50 p.m. ET from January 19 to January 25 (and at 4:50 p.m. ET on January 26). $1,000 in Winter Series prizes will be awarded to the winning players.
