Stake Poker is preparing one of its busiest tournament months of 2026, with the Jacked Series scheduled to run from November 11 to 30 and feature 198 tournaments across 20 days.

The festival has been announced with $2 million in combined guarantees across tournaments and satellites, offering buy-ins from $5 to $1,000 and satellite entries starting at just $0.50.

The schedule's biggest attraction is the $200 Jacked Main Event, which carries a $250,000 guarantee and introduces an accumulator format that allows players to combine chips from multiple starting flights. The festival also lists a $1,000 Stake Showdown for November 29, with a separate $250,000 guarantee.

For players already following Stake's expanding online tournament schedule, the Jacked Series adds another major festival to a year that has included the World KO Championship and CENTurion tournaments.

$250,000 Jacked Main Event Features Accumulator Format

The $200 Jacked Main Event is particularly interesting because of its phased accumulator structure.

Unlike a conventional multi-flight tournament where players carry forward only one qualifying stack, the accumulator allows chips from multiple successful Day 1 entries to be combined for the final.

A player who finishes one flight with 80,000 chips and another with 120,000 would therefore begin the November 29 final with 200,000 chips.

However, players must finish at least one starting flight with chips to qualify. Simply registering for a Day 1 flight does not guarantee a place in the final.

The format gives players another decision to make: qualify early and protect their bankroll, or enter additional flights to build a larger combined stack.

Stake Showdown Shares the November 29 Spotlight

The Jacked Series schedule also lists the $1,000 Stake Showdown for November 29, alongside the Main Event final.

The two tournaments provide different entry points into the festival's headline action. The $200 Main Event offers the accumulator format, while Stake Showdown targets players comfortable with a higher direct buy-in.

Stake's separate Showdown promotion also provides a three-step satellite ladder, beginning at $0.50 and progressing through $10 and $100 qualifiers towards a $1,000 seat.

Satellites Offer a Cheaper Route Into the Festival

With satellite entries starting at $0.50, players have opportunities to qualify without paying the full direct buy-in for their target tournament.

Each satellite has its own qualification requirements, making it important to confirm which event the ticket awards entry to before registering.

The Jacked Series is another addition to Stake's increasingly varied tournament offering. Players comparing different MTT platforms can explore our tournament poker sites guide, while those considering a new account can find the current registration details in our Stake Poker promo code guide.

The bonus code for Stake Poker is NEWBONUS. Availability and promotional eligibility depend on the player's jurisdiction.
