The PokerStars 50/50 Series is complete, with all 50 events crowning their worthy champions. PokerStars promised $3 million in guaranteed prize pools, but awarded over $4.1 million after a strong turnout by mid-stakes grinders. The biggest prize pool, as you would expect, belonged to the $50 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Main Event. It carried a $400,000 guarantee but a crowd of 8,904 entrants resulted in a $404,686 pot.

Several members of the Team PokerStars stable bought into the 50/50 Series Main Event, although none of them managed to walk away with a slice of the prize pool. Lex “L. Veldhuis” Veldhuis, Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, Sebastian “peace&love” Huber, and soccer sensation Neymar “Neymar-jr” Jr added to the prize pool but not their coffers.
