PokerStars is running a brand new series all the way until August 2, with a total of 102 tournaments that are scheduled.

A total prize pool of $50 million will be guaranteed and while the name "Stadium Series" suggests it's a live thing, expectedly all events are going to be played online.

What's special about the series is that the bulk of the events will be played as weekly heats, still representing standalone tournaments, but with a chance to win your way into one of three tiers of weekly finals held each Sunday.

The buy-ins and guarantees for these will increase every week, all the way to the final weekend—the Grand Final, with a top tier buy in of $5,200 and $5 million guaranteed.
