Starting on Wednesday is the first ever PocketFives Open Series. Rather than hold one PocketFives Open, our main community-building event, we’re holding three of them over the next two weeks on Winamax, PokerStars, and 888 Poker. Combined, there’s over $6,000 in added cash and prizes and anyone with an account on those three sites is more than welcome to play. The winner of each Open gets a permanent profile badge.

As an added bonus, anyone who creates their new Winamax, PokerStars, or 888 Poker accounts through PocketFives, makes a deposit, and plays in the Open on that site gets a free PocketFives t-shirt delivered to their doorstep. Just e-mail support@pocketfives.com to claim it. Anyone who cashes in all three Opens during the series gets a free PocketFives hoodie. You can play in as many of the Opens as you’d like.

The first event takes place on Wednesday, January 22 at 21:00 CET on Winamax and is open to EU players. There’s €1,450 in added Winamax tickets in this PocketFives Open, which includes a €550 seat for the Winamax Poker Tour Finale in Paris to the winner. Winamax is also graciously putting €50 bounties on the heads of two of its pros, Michel “Mik.22” Abbecassis and Ludovic “Mikedou” Riehl. Here are the details:
