198 tournaments. $2M GTD. Get jacked with Jacked Series 2026.
Stake Poker is putting in the work and pumping up its tournament game big time. If you haven't heard already, the Jacked Series 2026, the longest online poker series ever hosted by Stake Poker, kicks off today. The pump continues all the way until November 30, when the last drops from the $2M total prize pool get shared among the winners.

Between November 11 and 15, the opening week features heavyweights like the $250,000 Jacked Main Event, Big Bounty PKOs and Mystery Bounty specials.

The Jacked Series 2026 is a real test of Stake Poker's tournament ambitions. Regular events tend to attract smaller fields, but the Jacked Series is aiming considerably higher. Based on the traffic we've observed, a few hundred entries in the bigger tournaments would be a reasonable target, although the actual numbers remain to be seen.

Jacked Series 2026: The Opening Week Heavyweights

The Jacked Series isn't wasting any time warming up. Here's where the opening-week action gets interesting.
Date (UTC)TournamentBuy-inGTD
Nov 11-15Jacked Big Game Hunter$20$1,500-$2,000

Nov 15Mid Month Madness$8$30,000
Nov 15Juicy Treasure Hunt$20$50,000
The recurring $20 Jacked Big Game Hunter is a natural starting point for bounty hunters. It runs daily during the opening stretch, using an 8-Max PKO format with Big Bounties. Sunday, November 15, is the leg day, meaning: DO NOT SKIP IT!

$250K Jacked Main Event: Time to Get Pumped

The big one is the $200 Jacked Series 2026 Main Event, which comes with a juicy $250,000 guarantee. The format is an accumulator, meaning you can fire multiple bullets, with all surviving Day 1 stacks combined to form your Day 2 stack.

Multiple Day 1 flights throughout the opening schedule make it easy to jump in whenever it fits your schedule and start building that combined Day 2 stack.

If the field stays relatively modest, this could turn into a seriously good-value opportunity. We'll soon see how many players take the bait.
