Table Of Contents
PokerStars is bringing Spin & Go’s to the live arena for the first time and you don’t have long to wait to see them in action because The Spin & Go Championship debuts during the upcoming European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague festival.
The Spin & Go Championship is scheduled for December 14-15 and will see 81 players lock horns in three-handed tournaments and do battle for a slice of the €100,000 prize pool. Although the Spin & Go Championship field is invite-only, you can qualify for this ground-breaking event.
How to Qualify for the Spin & Go Championship
The 81-strong field consists of 74 PokerStars Spin & Go qualifiers plus seven yet-to-be-announced special guests. A series of Spin & Go leaderboards will award 33 seats to PokerStars dotcom players, 24 to Southern Europe (France and Spain) qualifiers and 17 to qualifiers in Italy.
All you have to do to be in with a shot of bagging a €2,735 package is opt-in via your Challenges Window and collect leaderboard points for every Spin & GO tournament you win that has a $5 buy-in or higher.
The three leaderboards run from October 7-20, October 21-November 3, and November 4-17. The top two players receive a €2,735 package for the inaugural Spin & Go Championship. That package consists of:
What’s more, finish in the top 50 of any leaderboard, and you’ll receive a ticket for the Spin & Go Live Championship Freeroll, where three more packages wait to be won. The higher up each leaderboard you finish, the more chips you sit down with in the freeroll.
| Leaderboard Rank | Extra Chips | Starting Stack |
|---|---|---|
| 3-8 | 600 | 900 |
| 9-16 | 300 | 600 |
| 17-32 | 150 | 450 |
| 33-50 | 0 | 300 |
€100,000 in Prize Money
Spin & Go Championship players will compete for a share of €100,000. The overall champion wins €25,000, the runner-up €15,000, and the third-place finisher €10,000. However, there are other prizes up for grabs.
During the first round, the 81 entrants play across 27 tables and must win four matches to progress to Round 2, with 27 players going through. During Round 2, mystery envelope prizes from €2,000 to €10,000 (with a combined value of €31,000) can be won. The nine players who win five games progress to Round 3.
In the third round, there is €7,300 in cash prizes awarded according to your finishing place, with an additional €17,000 in random mystery envelopes. Five wins are required to reach the final round, with only a trio of players going through.
Everyone who reaches the final round is guaranteed a prize of €10,000, but they are only two eliminations away from winning €25,000 and the title of Spin & Go Championship champion.
What Are PokerStars Spin & Go?
Spin & Go are three-handed hyper-turbo sit & go tournaments where the prize pool is randomly determined before the first hand is dealt. They come with buy-ins of $0.25, $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, and $1,000.
The prize pool multiplier will usually be twice the size of the Spin & Go’s buy-in. However, that multiplier can be as high as 12,000 times! The $5 buy-in games are special because their prize pool multiplier can be a staggering 240,000 times, resulting in a $1,200,000 prize pool and a seven-figure top prize.
Spin & Gos pays out as winner-takes-all until it reaches 10x. Any 10x game pays first and second place, with higher multipliers paying all three entrants in an 80/12/8 split.
Fire up PokerStars, opt-in via the Challenges Window, start playing Spin & Go tournaments, and you may find yourself heading to Prague in December to compete in the inaugural Spin & Go Championship.
