The Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) returns for its third online edition from Dec. 2-7. PokerStars has even added two more days of action with an overall guarantee of $1.23 million across 23 events.
With more events on the schedule, players have a wider variety of tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $11 to $530. Players can qualify via satellites starting at just $0.55, which are already underway.
Players don’t even have to be in Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo for this festival. The series is open to all players on the PokerStars .COM platform. A visit to Copacabana Beach will have to be virtual this time.
