One lucky <em>USPoker<\/em> fan will play the Main Event of the series in style next week.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"whatrsquos_in_the_winter_series_pack_and_how_do_i_win_it\">What&rsquo;s in the Winter Series pack, and how do I win it?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re still reading, you&rsquo;re probably wondering what a $650 PokerStars package looks like. The most important part of the prize is a $400 ticket to enter the <strong>Winter Series Main Event on Jan. 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The other contents of the poker pack are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PokerStars-branded Hugo Boss hoodie and sweatpants<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Blanket<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Thermal travel mug<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sports bag<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, one lucky <em>USPoker<\/em> reader is going to have a chance at a prize pool worth at least $80,000.

We will ship it to anywhere that delivery is less than $50.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can win:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, you have to have an account at PokerStars in New Jersey. If you have one, great.

You must follow the <em>@USPoker<\/em> Twitter account so we can send you a direct message. (You will need to give us your Stars ID,&nbsp;&nbsp;address, email and telephone number if you win.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"the_winter_series_is_worthy_of_attention_even_if_you_donrsquot_win\">The Winter Series is worthy of attention even if you don&rsquo;t win<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even if you don&rsquo;t win the Poker Pack, the PokerStars NJ Winter Series is a worthwhile endeavor on its own merits. Players will compete in 15 tournaments for more than $300,000 in guaranteed prize pools.<\/p>\n<p>The Series will run Jan. 13 &ndash; Jan. 20. Players will play for prizepools that are no less than $7,000, and culminate with three tournaments on Jan. 20 that carry combined guarantees of $106,000.<\/p>\n<p>The first major tournament to run will be <strong>Event #2<\/strong>. This event, a <strong>Sunday Special <\/strong>that will run on Jan. 13, features a $200 buy-in and a whopping $40,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n<p>For players who want a more exclusive event, the <strong>High Roller<\/strong> tournament will occur two days later on Jan. 15. The event, which promises at least $25,000 up for grabs, comes with a $1,000 buy-in. So, players in this tournament will not have to fade much action to reach the pay window.<\/p>\n<p>The Main Event is certainly the prize tournament of the lot, though. A no-limit hold&rsquo;em tournament with $80,000 on the line and a relatively modest $400 buy-in means that there will be plenty of runners for this race.<\/p>\n<p>The games selected for this series will mostly rotate through various incarnations of Texas Hold&rsquo;em. However, events No. 9 and No. 15 are both pot-limit Omaha tournaments. Even more unusually, Event No. 15 is a five-card PLO tournament &mdash; a game colloquially known as &ldquo;Big O.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, any player who busts out of the money in a Winter Series tournament will receive a voucher for a <strong>Second Chance All-In Shootout<\/strong>. These tickets will allow players to enter a freeroll with at least $1,500 in Winter Series tickets up for grabs. So, all is not lost for players who strike out in their initial entries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"redheader-cta  tb_edit_table\">\n<div class=\"tb_editlinks\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"usp-table cta\">\n<div class=\"sr-header\">\n<p>New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"usp-list\">\n<li>\n<ul class=\"usp-item\">\n<li class=\"usp-logo\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspoker.com\/out\/wsop-nj\/\" class=\"thirstylink tb_ga_tracking logolinkclass\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/wsop648-169-5.png\" class=\"thirstylinkimg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspoker.com\/out\/wsop-nj\/\" class=\"thirstylink tb_ga_tracking\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Visit WSOP NJ\">Visit WSOP NJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"usp-bonus\"><span>$10<\/span> No Deposit\n<p><span>100% to $1,000<\/span> With <span>Deposit<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"usp-details\">\n              <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspoker.com\/\" class=\"read\">WSOP NJ Review<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Overall Grade A-<\/p>\n<ul class=\"usp-item-checklist-alt\">\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check\"><\/i>Games B+<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check\"><\/i>Support B<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check\"><\/i>Banking A-<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check\"><\/i>Player Value A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"usp-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspoker.com\/out\/wsop-nj\/\" class=\"thirstylink tb_ga_tracking cta-button i15-cta-button\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"PLAY NOW\">PLAY NOW<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"how_to_qualify_for_the_main_event_if_you_donrsquot_get_the_winter_series_poker_pack\">How to qualify for the Main Event if you don&rsquo;t get the Winter Series Poker Pack<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, only one lucky reader will get a free pass into the Main Event.

The first way to do so is through the <strong>Main Event Depositor Freeroll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Players can gain entry to this special freeroll by using the promotional code <strong>WINTER<\/strong> to deposit $30 or more. Players must make their deposit prior to 14:59 ET on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n<p>The freeroll will commence at 3 p.m. on Jan. 20. The last 25 players with chips will receive $400 tickets to the Main Event.<\/p>\n<p>Players can also qualify through a special set of $2.50<strong> Spin &amp; Go<\/strong> tournaments. A few lucky players will only need to defeat two other contestants to receive a Main Event voucher.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, PokerStars NJ is offering thousands of reasons for players to stay inside this winter.
