PokerStars has once again exceeded expectations in Southern Europe. The Galactic Series, one of the most popular series for players in France, Spain, and Portugal, generated a total prize pool of €8 million, over €1 million above the guarantee. The prize pool was distributed across 261 events, with more than 343,000 total entries. The highlight of the series was the Main Event, which paid out €365,025 over the three-week period.
Throughout the series, players had the opportunity to earn additional Silver and Gold Passes by participating in the Galactic Stars Battle. Players opted in to support a PokerStars Ambassador, and all those who backed the leading Ambassador each week were entered into a freeroll for a chance to win a Silver Power Pass.
In Spain, captains “WilloelPillo” and “and1ero” saw similar outcomes. Willo won in weeks one and three with 327,805 and 250,763 points respectively, while Álex “and1ero” Romero claimed week two with 318,631 points. Esteban “estiwinho” Pascual did not reach the top spot in any week.
Silver and Gold Passes can be redeemed for entries to a range of PokerStars Live events throughout the year, including marquee stops like the European Poker Tour (EPT) and the PokerStars Open, which debuted this year and have offered players across Europe world-class poker at accessible buy-ins, with lively, grassroots-style atmospheres. Closing out the season, EPT Prague will run from December 3 to December 14, followed by PokerStars Open Cannes starting December 16. Players with Gold or Silver Passes can use them to enter both events.
“Once again, we have seen players from across France, Spain, and Portugal come together to enjoy the Galactic Series,” said Sandro Forleo, Head of Poker Operations for Southern Europe and Italy at PokerStars. “Our Mega Mystery events, where bounties can be won as soon as late registration closes, proved especially popular and continued to offer something new and exciting for players of all experience levels.”
