How Does PokerStars Power Path Work? 6z2662
For those unfamiliar with the format, Power Path provides players with a fresh way to qualify for major online and live poker events, including the prestigious European Poker Tour and prominent online tournaments like the Sunday Million or WCOOP Main Event. Remarkably, players can enter this pathway with as little as 50 cents.
To obtain a through Power Path, players must conquer four progressive steps categorized into three tiers — Bronze valued at $109, Silver worth $2500, and Gold valued at $10,300.
Step 1 involves a $0.50 buy-in Spin & Go, leading to either a $1 buy-in On-Demand Sit & Go or a $1.50 multi-table tournament (MTT). Winners of Step 2 receive $11 tickets for Step 3, which grants entry to the fourth and final step of Power Path.
Step 4 is a $109 tournament that awards the three tiers of Power es (Bronze, Silver, and Gold). While players can accelerate their pathway and directly buy into Step 2 or 3, entry to Step 4 must be earned by winning Step 3. This measure is in place to safeguard casual players from being overshadowed by professional players in the final stage.
Upon winning Step 4, players receive a Power that can be redeemed for a selection of curated poker tournament packages, each designed for an PokerStars live event (like EPT or UKIPT) or a major online series such as WCOOP or SCOOP. These packages may include travel expenses for live events or a bundle of event entries for online tournaments.
- Bronze Power : Issued upon completing Step 3, this gives players access to $109 buy-in online events, including the iconic Sunday Million. Alternatively, players can also use this in Step 4 to compete for higher-tier es like Silver or Gold.
- Silver Power : Valued at $2,500, this allows players to redeem it for either regional live events or major online events like WCOOP.
- Gold Power : The most valuable worth $10,300, granting players access to flagship live series such as the EPT or prominent online tournaments like the WCOOP Championship Main Event.
To facilitate players in getting started, and wager at least 1 cent in rake. This means players participating in real-money games receive a monthly value of $15 in free tickets.
