PokerStars is bringing its successful PokerStars Open live poker series to the United States, with its debut U.S. event set to take place in Philadelphia. The PokerStars Open Philadelphia will run from April 21 to 27 at the Live! Casino & Hotel.

The series' highlight is an $1,100 buy-in Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000. Additionally, there will be a $400 PokerStars Cup with a $40,000 guarantee and a $300 Women’s Event guaranteeing $10,000. Players can qualify online for as little as $10 in regulated U.S. markets and Ontario.

The launch of PokerStars Open in America aligns with PokerStars' ongoing strategy to exit "grey market" territories, positioning itself more favorably in regulated markets such as the United States.

PokerStars Open unifies smaller regional tours under a single global brand. Its European debut in Campione, Italy, was highly successful, drawing over 6,000 entries and awarding more than €4.5 million in prize money.

Steve Priess, Vice President at PokerStars, believes Philadelphia is the perfect venue for the Open. Additional North American stops are expected to join the calendar, complementing the North American Poker Tour, returning to Las Vegas at the end of 2025.

Currently, PokerStars is running its popular online SCOOP tournament series across North American markets.
