As the extended version of SCOOP comes to an end after 33 days of competition, a new series comes into view.

The Summer Series might not have the stature of its Spring counterpart, but it does well for guarantees, tournaments, and an opportunity to win big.

And there’s not long to wait either.

Summer Series starts this coming Sunday. You can get the full two week schedule below, but here are some of the highlights.

• Runs from Sunday 7 June to Sunday 21 June on shared liquidity
• A total guaranteed prize pool of $25 million across 151 tournaments
• There will be two Progressive KO main events with two different buy-ins
• The first will be $55 to play with $1 million guaranteed
• The second will have a $530 buy-in with $2 million guaranteed

Two other events will boast guarantees in excess of six figures.

They’ll be played as Special Edition Sunday Millions, one on opening day and the other during the middle weekend. Both have $1.5 million guaranteed to make them super-special.

Those are the four biggest events of the 151 tournaments. But it’s not all about the big money.

Play according to your schedule: They’ll be at least eight Summer Series events each day, with more events at weekends. Summer Series action starts at around 10.15 ET to 10.30 ET each day with the last events of the day starting between 1700-18:30 ET.

The chance to step up: Buy-ins start at $11, so it’s not a series for the typical micro-stakes player. But that does make it a great opportunity to step up, with satellites into each event starting for much less than that. You’ll find details of those by logging into the PokerStars client.

The games you like to play: The schedule does lean heavily on hold’em, but there’s plenty of Omaha included too.

Win quickly and from the very first hand: Along with multiple formats events are played at regular, turbo and hyper-turbo speed. There are also 6 and 8 max tournaments, as well as plenty of Progressive KO formats so you can win quickly, picking up bounties right from the start

Summer Series starts this coming Sunday with the first event starting at 10:30 ET. That’s 15:30 UK and 16:30 CET.
