$250,000 Jacked Main Event

The $200 Jacked Main Event gives players a lower direct entry point into one of the series' two biggest guaranteed tournaments.

Multiple Day 1 flights are scheduled before the November 29 final. Players should note that Stake's published Multi-Flight rules use a best-stack-forward policy. Players can enter more than one starting flight, even after qualifying, but only their largest qualifying stack carries into the final stage.

Smaller qualifying stacks are forfeited rather than combined. That makes additional flights an opportunity to improve the stack taken forward, rather than build one cumulative stack across several Day 1s.

$250,000 Stake Showdown

The $1,000 Stake Showdown is also scheduled for November 29, with a separate $250,000 guarantee.

Stake has used the Showdown as its flagship high-buy-in poker tournament during 2026, with qualification routes starting at $0.50. The Jacked Series schedule puts the Showdown alongside the Main Event final, making the final Sunday the clear centrepiece of the festival.

Players who do not want to pay the full $1,000 directly can look for satellite options in the tournament lobby.

Key Tournament Schedule

Several Treasure Hunt tournaments add more guaranteed action during the series, including a $100,000 Big Treasure Hunt on November 22.
