Players bagging chips will resume play from May 25-27 until the first PokerStars Festival Main Event winner in Chile is crowned.

Another big tournament during the festival is the $3,300 High Roller. The tournament begins on May 21 and features a deep structure with players beginning with 50,000 chips and blinds increasing every 60 minutes.
