Stud and Draw poker fans had plenty of great tournaments to participate in during the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP), and now PokerStars is running a Stud&Draw Week between May 25 – 31 with over $80,000 in giveaways. Whether you are a long-time Stud/Draw enthusiast or if you are just looking to get started in a new format, Stud&Draw week offers great promotions for every player.

There are six different promotions running during Stud&Draw Week:

  • Stud and Draw Deposit Bonus 

Deposit $30 or more before 23:59 on May 31 using the Bonus Code "STUDDRAW" and you will receive five $1,50 tournament tickets that you can use for any Stud or Draw Sit & Go.

  • Beat the Clock and Week-long Challenges

In this promotion players can win entry to All-in Shootouts with more than $50,000 to be won! Open your "Challenges" window in the lobby to start the Challenges.

In the Beat the Clock promotion players have to win 10 Stud/Draw cash game hands in one hour and they will be automatically registered to an All-in Shootout with a $3,000 prize pool.

There are also Week-long Challenges, players have to win 25 cash game hands of 7 Card Stud/Razz/Draw or play 100 hands of 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. Every time a player completes a challenge they will win entry to a $7,500 all-in shootout.

  • Cash Game Leader Boards

Players can also win a share of the total of $20,000 in cash prizes in four seperate Leader Boards. Each Leader Board pays out $5,000 to the top 150 players. In 7 Card Stud/Razz/Draw the finish will be determined by the number of raked hands won, while in Stud Hi/Lo it will be determined by the number of raked hands played. (Check out the PokerStars website to see how the Leader Board awards the prizes.)
