Get ready for some stellar action at the virtual tables if you live in Brazil with the fifth incarnation of the insanely popular Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) series returns online to PokerStars with 25 events starting July 7 and running through July 12 with $1.6 million in guaranteed prize pools. The champions will be awarded a coveted BSOP trophy for their excellence.
Brazilians know how to party. They host one of the craziest and most exciting events in the world, otherwise known as Carnival, where party people from all over the planet converge upon Brazil for the festivities and to purge their souls before the start of Lent.
When poker reached the shores of Brazil, they embraced the game much like football and superstars quickly emerged like Andre Akkari, who became Brazil's most notable and likable pro.
The Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) was introduced to bring a festival-like experience to the poker tables. In the age of COVID, many popular tournaments headed online to the virtual tables to provide a safer environment but to also give more players access to join in on the fun and win a small mound of cash.
The BSOP returns for a fifth time at PokerStars. The 2021 BSOP has the largest guaranteed prize pool in the brief history of the affair. The 2021 BSOP includes 25 events with $1.6 million in guaranteed prize pools. Buy-ins for the BSOP start as low as $5.50 with the highest price tag at $530. Vamooooos!
