Stake Poker is bringing a major November tournament schedule to its international player pool with the Jacked Series, running from November 11 to 30, 2026.

The series is advertised with $2 million in guarantees across tournaments and satellites, with 198 events on the schedule. Direct buy-ins range from $5 to $1,000, while satellites start at $0.50.

For eligible Canadian players, the biggest date is Sunday, November 29. The $200 Jacked Main Event and the $1,000 Stake Showdown each carry a $250,000 guarantee, putting $500,000 in headline guarantees on the same day.

There is an important provincial restriction. Stake's current terms list Alberta and Ontario as prohibited jurisdictions. Players elsewhere in Canada should still confirm their eligibility and the tournament details shown in the Stake Poker lobby before registering.

$250,000 Jacked Main Event Leads the Schedule

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.

Stake Showdown Adds Another $250,000 Guarantee

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.
