Wednesday marks the start of the second multi-flight game of the series, the $560 Megastack. The action gets going at noon on Wednesday for the opening flight, with another flight on Thursday.
Players get 30k to start the day, and levels are 40 minutes. Entries are open for 12 levels, putting the final chance to enter at about 9:30 PM each starting day. After that, Day 1 play continues until 10% of the field remains, after which the bags will come out with those 10% moving to money play on Day 2. All players on Day 2 will get paid something.
Last Summer, the Megastack got 410 entries for almost $195k in prizes, and Jerry Li cut a deal for the win (his second win in two days) with Eric Wasylenko (2nd) and Zhi Jiang (3rd). In Spring 2026, 346 entries made a prize pool of nearly $165k, with Ed Gaetz taking down Kelly Gall for the win
It seems likely that the field for the 2026 Summer Super Stack will be between 350 & 400, though it could easily push past 400.
