Big Bang Sunday May 24 — JackPoker $50,000 Special Edition

JackPoker's weekly flagship tournament steps up significantly this week. The Big Bang Sunday May 24 Special Edition carries a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool — more than double the standard weekly guarantee — making it the single biggest poker event JackPoker has scheduled this month. Direct registration costs $109, but a full satellite ladder starting at $5 gives players at every budget level a realistic path into the field. Late registration stays open for the first two blind levels after the scheduled start time of 17:00 UTC on Sunday, May 24.

The May 24 Special Edition follows JackPoker's standard Big Bang Sunday structure: a No-Limit Hold'em multi-table tournament with a deep starting stack of 20,000 chips and 20-minute blind levels. The tournament is re-entry enabled for the first six blind levels, giving players who bust early the option to fire again before the field locks. Re-entry uses the same $109 buy-in. All re-entry stacks receive a fresh 20,000 chip stack and begin at the current blind level.
At the close of late registration, the tournament switches to freezeout mode. Any player eliminated after that point is out for the session. The estimated duration for a typical field size reaching this guarantee level is 6 to 8 hours to a final table, with the winner expected to be determined by Sunday evening UTC.
Satellite Schedule — Enter for $5
JackPoker runs a dedicated satellite ladder for the Big Bang Sunday Special Edition beginning Wednesday May 20. The satellite tiers are:
- Step 1 — $5 Micro Satellite: Runs hourly, 9-player format, top 1 wins a $22 Step 2 ticket.
- Step 2 — $22 Direct Satellite: Runs 3x daily, 18-player format, top 2 each win a $109 Main Event seat.
- $33 Turbo Satellite (Saturday May 23): Single tournament, runs at 20:00 UTC, top 3 win seats.
Players who have accumulated Welcome Quest rewards or Instant Cash from previous sessions can use those funds to enter Step 1 satellites without an additional deposit. This makes the event accessible to players who have been building their JackPoker balance since registering with code WELCOME.
Projected Field and Payout Tiers
Based on previous Big Bang Sunday fields and the expanded $50,000 guarantee, the projected registered field sits at 550 to 650 entries including re-entries. The prize pool distributes across the top 12% of the field. Approximate payout tiers based on a 600-entry projection:
- 1st Place: ~$9,000–$10,500
- 2nd Place: ~$6,000–$7,000
- 3rd Place: ~$4,000–$4,500
- 4th–6th Place: ~$2,000–$3,000 each
- 7th–9th Place: ~$1,000–$1,500 each
- 10th–18th Place (second tier): ~$350–$600 each
- Min-cash (bottom tier): ~$130–$160
All projected payouts are based on a $50,000 pool and standard JackPoker payout percentages. Actual amounts will vary with field size and any overlay if the guarantee is not met by entries alone.
