PokerStars Turbo Series in New Jersey (February 22 – March 3)
The Turbo Series returns to New Jersey market for its second edition. There are 28 tournaments scheduled to run for a period of ten days with a total guaranteed prize pool of $200,000.
This will be the room’s second online tournament series this year. Last month, PokerStars ran Winter Series with $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Buy-ins to the Turbo Series start at $15 and go up to $250 with a mix of turbo and hyper-turbo formats across various standard and novelty formats, including Win the Button, 4-Max Zoom, and Progressive Knockouts. The majority of the schedule comprises of Hold’em tournaments but PokerStars will be hosting other formats such as Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, and perhaps for the first time—Draw games such as No Limit 2-7 Single Draw and Pot Limit 5 Card Draw.
The series culminates in a $100 buy-in, $25,000 guaranteed Main Event.
To accompany the series, PokerStars is offering a further $20,000 in additional prizes via dozens of freerolls. Satellites to the Turbo Series are already underway.
As seen in the Winter Series held in the Garden State, the guarantees in Turbo Series have also come down significantly. Last year, the series had a guaranteed prize pool of $271,000 with an average guarantee of $9678 per tournament. This year, the average guarantee has come down to $7142.
The reduction in the guarantees was mostly due to overlays seen in the previous edition. In 2018, nearly half of the tournaments failed to reach their guarantees.
WSOP/888 Online Circuit for New Jersey and Nevada Players (February 26 – March 10)
Online poker in New Jersey may have had its worst year on record in terms of generating revenue, but WSOP.com/888 network (in conjunction with the All American Poker Network) is the only network to see a spike in the traffic as well as their revenues, thanks to the cross-border liquidity sharing with AAPN poker rooms in Nevada and Delaware that began in May 2018.
WSOP is currently running Winter Online Championships series boasting $1.5 million in total guaranteed prize pool. So far, the series has been a great success as almost all the tournaments smashed their guarantees easily. The series concludes on Sunday with a $200,000 guaranteed Main Event featuring $525 buy-in.
Right after the Winter Online Championships conclude, the WSOP Online Circuit series kicks off. It features another seven-figure guaranteed prize pool totaling $1 million in guaranteed prize pool. The series is open to both New Jersey and Nevada players.
Starting February 26, each day for the next 13 days, there will be one ring event that will carry at least a five-figure guarantee. Standouts include a $100,000 guaranteed $320 NLHE Monster Stack, another $100,000 guaranteed $1000 6-Max High Roller and a $525 Main Event on the last day of the series.
The Main Event guarantees $250,000 and players can re-enter up to three times. The series also features a 6-Max Pot Limit Omaha event, a knockout format, turbos, deep stacks, etc.
The winner of each online circuit tournament will receive an official WSOP ring like the traditional land-based WSOP Circuit events. Players will also earn points towards qualifying for the $1 million-plus prize pool and season-culminating WSOP Global Casino Championship (GCC). Both the winner of the Main Event and Online Circuit leaderboard will earn a free seat to GCC.
This is not the first time WSOP is running Online Circuit event. It held its first-ever online ring series last year in September. According to the operator, the series was a “huge hit”.
Meanwhile, Borgata along with partypoker is also expected to run its flagship online tournament series—Garden State Super Series (GSSS) in March.
Turbo Series from PokerStars runs from February 22 through March 3. WSOP/888 will be hosting the WSOP Online Circuit series from February 26 to March 10.
It’s an unprecedented time in the world of online poker – at least since before Black Friday. Live poker may be paused, Vegas closed down, and numerous tournament series shuttered, but online poker has sprung to heights not seen since the 2000s.
That has included the regulated US poker market, including sweepstakes sites like Global Poker and ClubWPT. International operators like PokerStars, partypoker, 888poker, and GGPoker are also reporting massive fields with so many players online.
Chip Chatter once again brings all the recent news in the world of poker. From online poker and charitable endeavors to sponsorships, the WSOP, and more – USPoker has it covered.
PokerStars SCOOP scores in NJ, PA; Numbers continue growing online
As poker players continue to shelter in place, many have moved to playing online. The recent PokerStars Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania can serve as examples.
NJ SCOOP wrapped up on Monday and produced the biggest numbers in the history of the series. The $1.2 million guarantee was smashed with almost $1.8 million awarded in the series.
Pennsylvania saw similar success. The series awarded $3.2 million In the 100 events offered. That topped the $2 million guarantee in the site’s first-ever PASCOOP.
Internationally, other sites are reporting major fields as well. A recent Forbes article noted that 888poker has seen a 60% increase in activity in the US. A similar number may be seen for its interstate compact partner WSOP.com.
“We are seeing similar trends on our global poker network, a testament of a recreational destination that people are enjoying while sheltering in place,” 888 Holdings head of commercial development Yaniv Sherman noted.
That’s a trend around the online poker world. Even US-facing sweepstakes poker sites have seen big numbers. Global Poker reached record heights in its Home Series with the largest event in its history playing out on Sunday.
The SC540 Main Event featured a guarantee of SC500,000. With almost 1,300 players, the event actually produced a prize pool of SC643,000.
The World Poker Tour also recently refocused on its ClubWPT sweepstakes poker site. The tour notes that “new registrations for ClubWPT are up 39% year-over-year in Q1 in 2020 and billed subscribers increased by 8.3% over the same period.”
Caesars online casino opens in PA, WSOP.com still unavailable
PokerStars remains the only traditional legal real-money platform in Pennsylvania after launching in November 2019. Could a change be on the horizon?
In April, Caesars Entertainment launched its online casino in the Keystone State through its Harrah’s Philadelphia property. Unfortunately that didn’t include WSOP.com.
But could a launch be around the corner? WSOP officials are staying tight lipped even as US online poker is seeing record player and prize pools.
The site offers the nation’s only shared liquidity among Nevada, New Jersey, and in Delaware with its software partner 888poker. However, PA online poker couldn’t be part of that as of now.
“WSOP/888’s biggest advantage over its competitors is that it’s currently the only operator able to share liquidity between multiple states,” Online Poker Report notes. “Until the Gaming Control Board loosens the leash, however, Pennsylvania won’t be able to join the shared player pool with New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.”
WSOP speculation continues after postponement
After weeks of speculation, the WSOP in Las Vegas has officially been postponed until the fall. The question now is: what can players and fans expect?
A fall WSOP puts the series in the middle of the NFL season. How would that affect ESPN’s live broadcasts of the Main Event that players and fans have become accustomed to? The series could also face several competing tournaments from the WPT and other series.
A fall series may also include a shortened schedule. Organizers may have to find a nice mix of lower buy-in events to maximize traffic and player pools. That could also include a limited number of the big buy-in championship events as well.
Online players will be in luck this summer however. The WSOP announced that expanded online events will be played out this summer.
The could include bracelet events as well as more international events with other partners. The WSOP has already partnered with GGPoker for the Super Circuit Online Series, which kicks off this weekend with 595 events and a $100 million guarantee.
Getting any kind of schedule together won’t be easy. Las Vegas casinos are all closed down at the moment. What would a major poker festival look like in the immediate aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic?
It’s a unique time in the world of poker and it will be interesting to see how things shake out. One thing is certain, cool Las Vegas fall temperatures will be much more pleasant than those 110-plus degree summers.
ElkY, Boris Becker sign on with GGPoker
GGPoker has earned some big headlines in recent weeks. The site is now home to Daniel Negreanu and a new deal with the WSOP.
The site also made some news in April by adding some brand ambassadors. Popular French pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier becomes the latest player to join Team GGPoker.
Grospellier has more than $14.5 million in live tournament winnings and numerous major titles. That record includes WSOP, WPT, and EPT titles.
“I am excited to join GGPoker, the most ambitious poker site,” he said in a news release. “With clear focus on software and making poker fun again, there has never been a better place to play online poker.”
The site added a champion of a different sort as well. Six-time tennis major winner Boris Becker will represent the brand and King’s Casino while playing online including the Super Series. A long-time poker player, Becker has lifetime live tournament earnings of more than $100,000.
GG continues to experience massive growth and is making a splash in the online poker market. It regularly rates as one of the top five platforms in the world in PokerScout.com traffic report.
Players lend a hand to media during pandemic
Poker players are a charitable lot and that continues during the Coronavirus pandemic. Poker Central, Global Poker, and the RunGood Poker Series have teamed up for the “Keep The Lights On” initiative.
As part of the campaign, a series of poker games will be streamed featuring poker personalities Jamie Kerstetter, Jeff Platt, and Brian “TheGoldenBlazer” Frenzel.
The three will play to raise money to support freelance poker media members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Donations will be made in the form of pledges collected through the Keep the Lines On support site.
Streamers will play in 10 tournaments a day and pledges collected based on number of cashes. As of Friday, the site reported pledges of $26,000.

“Poker Central is built on celebrating and elevating every single aspect of the game of poker, and in order to do that, we rely on the poker industry media to keep us all informed and tell the impactful stories that shape our industry,” Poker Central chief business officer JR McCabe said.
“Our goal with this fund is to provide as much support as possible to those who have tirelessly supported when Las Vegas and the rest of the poker world was shining bright.”
All events will be played on the Global Poker site, which has seen record traffic during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Giving back to those who cover our industry and keep poker thriving is essential in our eyes, which is why we are happy to provide the platform to this initiative” Global Poker general manager David Lyons said.
Frenzel is no stranger to raising money for the cause on Global. A 24-hour streaming effort in April helped raise almost $2,300.

Phil Hellmuth misses out on Netflix but helps to keep the lights on
Speaking of funds, 15-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth and his agent Brian Balsbaugh reflected recently onTwitter about an opportunity missed. In 2004 or 2005, Balsbaugh negotiated an appearance for Phil Hellmuth at a Netflix event in New York City.
The company offered to pay in stock but Hellmuth and Balsbaugh took $25,000. At the time, Netflix was finding success renting DVDs by mail. Streaming movies and television shows wasn’t even part of the business at that point.
Wsop Vs Pokerstars
In ‘04 and ‘05, a share of Netflix went for around $3 to $5 (and even went below $2 at times). At $5 that would have meant 5,000 shares of the stock for that $25,000, depending on negotiations.
With Netflix closing at $420 a share on Thursday, that stock would have now been worth $2.1 million today. It may have been a missed opportunity, but Hellmuth certainly has done pretty well for himself either way.
The Poker Brat spread some good vibes last week. He added some of his own funds and promotional push to the Keep the Lights On initiative.
I’m pledging $5,000 dollars to this #POSITIVITY
