As the second weekend of January rolls in, the PokerStars New Year Series is entering its final stages, and the action is only heating up. Since kicking off last December, this series has been nothing short of spectacular, boasting a massive $35 million in guarantees across 359 events. With just a few days left, players are gearing up for some of the biggest moments yet — including a shot at one of the series’ most talked-about prizes: a $100,000 mystery bounty.

The $100K Mystery Bounty and Weekend Highlights

This Sunday, January 12th, PokerStars will host the series’ grand finale, headlined by three Main Events. These tournaments promise $1 million guarantees at each buy-in level — $109, $1,050, and $5,200 — but it’s the $109 Mystery Bounty that’s stealing the spotlight. Why? Because one lucky knockout artist will walk away with a $100,000 bounty. Yes, that’s a potential 1,000x return for sending just one opponent to the rail!

And if that wasn’t enough, PokerStars has packed this weekend with even more bankroll-boosting opportunities. Phased events with buy-ins as low as $5.50 and $55 offer the chance to play for guarantees of $250K and $1M, respectively, by carrying chips through to Phase 2 on January 13th.

With so much action still in store, the PokerStars New Year Series is wrapping up in style – and we’ll be following in step!
