Pokerstars Weekly $5000 2-7 Single Draw Tournament
Pokerstars offers a weekly $5000 guaranteed 2-7 Single Draw tournament. The $5000 guaranteed is run every Sunday at 15:15 ET and usually has 20-30 players. This is a NL tournament with 4000 chip starting stacks and 15 minute blind levels.
With a buy-in of $200+15, the tournament needs 25 players to meet the guarantee. When it doesn’t reach the mark, Pokerstars makes up the difference yet there are fewer players to beat. For example, this last Sunday (Oct. 4th), the $5k guaranteed only drew 22 players, contributing $4400 of the $5000. So, Pokerstars added another $600 themselves, offering players a nice overlay to take advantage of.
This last Sunday paid the top 4 players, with first taking down $2,250. 2nd place got $1500, 3rd took home $750, and 4th was good for $500.

The event drew a total of 468 entrants and the prize pool grew to $140,400. The winner was TimmyK who took home a nice paycheck of $26,676. The top 72 made the money, offering more than the standard top 10% a cash prize. 72nd place paid $449.28.
