Don’t Miss the $350,000 Guaranteed PokerStars Jet Set Seat Finale on July 12

They say that all good things must come to an end, and that’s the case with the PokerStars Jet Set Season, which wraps up this weekend. Among the many tournaments running this weekend is the Jet Set Season Finale, a $75 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em PKO event boasting a $350,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Cards are in the air from 6:05 p.m. BST on July 12 in this two-day affair. All players start their quest for Jet Set Season Finale glory with a 50,000 starting stack and play to 15-minute blinds for the first 15 levels, reducing to 12 minutes between Level 16-37, before returning to 15 minutes until the tournament concludes.

Late registration remains open for exactly four hours, during which time up to five re-entries are permitted, meaning winning a few bullets from the plentiful satellites – more on those soon – is worthwhile.

As the Jet Set Season Finale is a progressive knockout (PKO) event, it is possible to win plenty of cash without having to navigate to the payout places. At least $17.50 is awarded for each player eliminated. By the time the tournament reaches the latter stages, some of the bounties will be substantial.
