Jacked Series with $2,000,000 GTD at Stake Poker

For the second time in its history, Stake Poker will host a series with $2,000,000 in guaranteed prize money.

The Jacked Series will run from November 11–30, 2026. Over 20 days, players will have access to 198 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5 to $1,000. Satellite entries start at just $0.50.

Most of the schedule consists of low-stakes MTTs, with guarantees of up to $7.7K in PKO format. The series' largest events include:

The highest-stakes event, the Stake Poker "Stake Showdown," boasts a record-breaking $250,000 guarantee and will take place on November 29. Players can qualify for this $1,000 buy-in tournament through a three-level step-satellite system.

Jacked Series: our opinion on the event

Stake Poker has been operating for less than two years, so its tournament series have yet to reach the massive guarantees offered by more established poker sites. Still, the $2,000,000 prize pool sets a new record for the platform.

That said, we believe Stake Poker's homegrown festivals have several clear advantages, and the Jacked Series is no exception:

• Player pool level. The tournaments, featuring boosted guarantees, attract participants from the casino and sports betting sections who have seen advertisements for the series on the site but lack a strong grasp of poker strategy.
• Many tournaments with small fields. The number of entries rarely exceeds a few hundred.
• Satellites. Players can qualify for even the highest-stakes event via a step-satellite with a buy-in of just 50 cents.
• The schedule features tournaments with guarantees significantly higher than those of regular MTTs. This time, players will have a chance to compete for a share of the prize pools in two events with $250,000 guarantees. Stake Poker has only hosted a larger tournament once before.
