Ever since PokerStars cancelled several European live events back in March, players have been waiting patiently for the announcement of a major online poker festival to take their place.
And after the recent success stories of SCOOP, the Stadium Series and WCOOP, PokerStars has now unveiled the EPT Online.
The festival runs from November 8th until November 18th and comes with a $20 million guarantee across 20 events. It is split into the EPT Online - where buy-ins range from $215 to $25,000 - and the Mini EPT Online - with buy-ins from as little as $2.20.
Play in the $5,200 EPT Online Main Event
The 2020 EPT Online Main Event takes place on November 15th. It is a four-day event with a single starting flight that gets underway at 18:05 (GMT). Players are allowed up to two re-entries during the late registration period, which runs until five minutes before the start of Day 2.
| Day | Date | Time | Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | November 15th | 18:05 | End of Level 15 |
| Day 2 | November 16th | 18:10 | When 72 players are remaining |
| Day 3 | November 17th | 18:05 | When 9 players are remaining |

There are also seven figures guaranteed in the $1,050 Arena Championship (Nov 8th - $1.5 million GTD) and the $10,300 High Roller (Nov 10th - $1 million GTD).
For non-hold'em players, there are three PLO events ranging from $109 to $10,300, as well as a $5,200 8-Game High Roller which is sure to attract some of the best mixed game players in the world.
Real Trophies and Package Giveaways
PokerStars have also confirmed that they will be giving away thousands of tickets for free, with players able to qualify for free in daily freebuy feeder tournaments. Details of this will be released in the coming days.
Players who take down an EPT Online event will also win a real EPT trophy of their own.

There is still a Main Event, which comes with a $55 buy-in and a $500,000 guarantee. In total there are six events which guarantee $500,000, with the Mini EPT Online alone guaranteeing $3.3 million across its twenty event schedule.
The lowest buy-in Mini EPT Online event is the $2.20 EPT Online Cup which takes place on November 15th with a $50,000 guarantee. The biggest buy-in is the $215 Super High Roller which takes place on November 13th with a $400,000 guarantee.

Pokerstars Canada Cup
PokerStars announced this week that the live finale of the Americas Cup of Poker (ACP) will be contested at the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey from June 23rd through June 27th. In what is likely not a coincidence, it will coincide with the Copa America Centenario, the 100th year of the famed Copa America soccer tournament, contested by 16 teams from throughout the Americas. The tournament will be spread throughout ten cities in the United States, the first time Copa America has been held outside of South America.
As for the poker, the America’s Cup of Poker will feature teams representing a dozen countries, divided into three groups as follows:
Group A: Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay
Group B: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Rest of Latin America
Group C: Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Venezuela
Pokerstars World Cup Of Poker
The United States will also have a team, composed of the best players from PokerStars’ NJ Spring Championship of Online Poker and the Americas Cup of Poker Freeroll held at the end of this month. Because the United States is the host of the live final, Team USA will automatically qualify for said final. Thus, they are not listed above.
Ept Cup Pokerstars
This isn’t a competition where the most famous names in poker are selected to play on each team, though. Instead, any PokerStars customer can qualify to be a member of their nation’s team. There will be ACP events held every day through May 29th on PokerStars, the most expensive of which is only $5.50. The top finishers in these events will win rankings points; the 50 players from each country with the most rankings points will move on to the next round. In all of these first round tournaments, players will only compete against other players from their own country.
The second round is a bounty competition. Each tournament will consist of 100 players: the 50 who qualified from each of two countries. The goal here is to eliminate as many players as possible, not necessarily finish high in the tournament. Players will earn bounties for their country for every player knocked out. The country with the most bounties in the match will win 10 points; in the case of a 50/50 tie, each team receives 5 points.

These matches will run every other day from May 30th through June 3rd. The top two points-earning countries from each group of four will advance to the live final in Atlantic City. Not all 50 players from those teams will make the trip, though; that would be silly. Instead, the top five bounty earners from each country will represent their team.
Pokerstars Cup
The winning team at the live final will receive $30,000, to be split amongst the five team members. All seven teams will win something, with payouts going down to $2,500 for the seventh place team.
