This weekend, PokerStars wrapped its MicroMillions Marathon, four days of 117 tournaments at the micro-stakes level. Everyone knows what that means… It’s time to plan another tournament series!

PokerStars is ready with a series for those without a lot of time. It’s the Turbo Series, with fast structures for every tournament and a wide range of poker from which to choose.

Better than that, PokerStars will guarantee $25 million in prize pools over the course of 134 tournaments in 15 days. And it all kicks off on Sunday, February 21.

Turbo Series Details

Many players like turbo tournaments because they don’t have to commit as much time. Especially for recreational players, these fast structures fit into daily lives much easier.

The Turbo Series is a fan favorite for that reason. And this iteration will offer two weeks of action, from Sunday, February 21 through Sunday, March 7. The schedule boasts of 134 tournaments and more than $25 million in guarantees.

Buy-ins start at just $11 and soar all the way to $5,200. In fact, PokerStars broke down the buy-ins:

–$11 buy-ins = 15 events

–$22 buy-ins = 25 events

–$55 buy-ins = 28 events

–$109 buy-ins = 28 events

–$215 buy-ins = 18 events

–$530 buy-ins = 12 events

–$1,050 buy-ins = 6 events

–$5,200 buy-ins = 2 events

Of the entire schedule, the vast majority of the tournaments will be No Limit Hold’em, as per usual. However, there are 15 other variants in the lineup: five PLO events, three NLO Hi/Lo, two 8-Game events, a HORSE, and one each of 5-Card PLO, FL Omaha Hi/Lo, PLO Hi/Lo, and FLHE.

There will be satellites on PokerStars for all of them. In addition, PokerStars opened the daily Turbo Series Fast Track qualification track for Main Event seats, ones that starts as low as $1.
