The PokerStars Grand Tour kicks off
Play the PokerStars Grand Tour and reach the finish line before the rest of the players. The PokerStars Grand Tour is a progressive KO tournament divided into several phases, or "sprints", with a finish line that is tied to the value of your reward.
On the Grand Tour you will have to cross the finish line to earn your rewards before the others and thus enjoy additional extras valued at more than 100,000€ for eliminating other players along the way.
How does it work?
Each sprint is a hyper-turbo sit & go tournament in which four players with similar record values compete and try to eliminate each other to determine a winner. In Sprints, each elimination implies that the value of your own reward increases by a certain percentage of your opponent's value, which brings you closer to the finish line since you will access the next sprint without paying entry!
In addition you take a part of the value of the reward of your opponent directly. This value will multiply, giving you an opportunity to win an even bigger prize. For example, if the average value of rewards at the start of a sprint is 10€ and you eliminate a player whose value is 10€, your own value will increase by 5€ (50%), you will win 2.50€ ( 25%) immediately and this value will be multiplied by a number between 1 and 300.
The reward multiplier is based on the odds tables below.
- If the bounty average of the sprint is below or equal to 10.80€:
