The bar has been raised for online poker series yet again.

On the heels of yesterday’s $20 million Powerfest announcement, PokerStars has released the schedule for the upcoming 2017 Spring Championship of Online Poker and it’s a whopper.

In fact, it’s the biggest ever. 

With a total series guarantee of $55 million, which is $15,000,000 more than SCOOP 2016, the 2017 SCOOP will be the biggest series in the history of online poker.

New Phase Tournaments from $5.50

The 2017 SCOOP will also be the most accessible in its history with buy-ins starting as low as $5.50.

It’s all happening again.

An extra week has been added to the series as well to accommodate new ‘phased’ tournaments running at $11, $109 and $1,050 buy-in levels.

After that first week things get back to a more traditional SCOOP schedule packed with diverse events and buy-ins.

With three tiers of buy-ins – $5.50 (low), $55 (medium) and $530 (high) – there should be an event for everyone with the gamut of No-Limit Hold’em and PLO events alongside lesser-known variants like 5-Card No-Limit Omaha 8 and Fixed-Limit Badugi.

Popular specialty events like Win the Button and Progressive 100% Knockout also return.
