Are you planning to hit the online poker tables over the weekend but are racking your brains wondering where to invest your hard-earned bankroll? Fear not, because PokerNewsis here with the Weekend Preview, highlighting a few multi-table tournaments that should get you tingling with excitement.

The opening day of the 2025 PokerNews Online Championships (PNOC) at 888poker should be your first port of call. This is the PNOC's third edition, and we're determined to make it the biggest, best, and richest yet.

On February 16, the first six of 43 scheduled events will shuffle up and deal. Fire up the 888poker client on your computer or via the mobile app by 4:00 p.m. GMT to get involved in the very first tournament. It is a $16.50 buy-in mystery bounty event with $20,000 guaranteed.

PokerNews #04 – Opening Event PKO Edition is the PNOC event you want to play on February 16 if you fancy playing for big money. This $109 buy-in tournament boasts a $100,000 guarantee on its prize pool!

Cards are in the air from 7:00 p.m. GMT on February 16. Buy in direct for $109 or win your way in from only $1 to receive 20,000 chips (250 big blinds) and a chance of PNOC glory. Late registration stays open for 220 minutes; you can re-enter as many times as your bankroll allows during this time, so trying to win multiple seats makes sense.

Day 1 ends when only eight players remain, with those eight stars convening on the final table at 7:00 p.m. GMT on February 17. The popular 888poker Twitch channel is streaming the final table's action with cards-up coverage, giving you a chance to shine in the limelight.

PokerStars Bounty Builder Series Main Events Have $2M in Combined Guarantees

The $15 million guaranteed Bounty Builder Series nears its conclusion at PokerStars this weekend, and you should do everything possible to book your seat in the festival's Main Events. Both the $109 Bounty Builder Series edition of the Sunday Million and the $1,050 buy-in Main Event are played as a progressive knockout format and carry a $1 million guarantee.

The $109 buy-in Bounty Builder Series Main Event, at 6:05 p.m. GMT on February 16, is the most affordable, although almost everyone can take a shot thanks to $5.50 satellites running around the clock. One such satellite starts at 8:30 p.m. GMT on February 15, guaranteeing 100x $109 tickets. An incredible 200x $109 seats are guaranteed in the $11 satellite at 5:15 p.m. GMT on February 16, too.

Players in the $109 Bounty Builder Series Main Event start with 50,000 chips and play to a 15-minute clock for the first 15 levels before switching to 12-minute blinds until Level 37. The clock returns to 15 minutes from Level 38 until only one player is left standing.

Late registration is open for four hours, with up to five re-entries permitted. Day 1 breaks 7h 50 min after the tournament starts, with surviving players returning to their seats at 6:05 p.m. GMT on February 17 to conclude the tournament.

Those with deeper pockets or who win a seat from only $22 might want to try their luck in the $1,050 Bounty Builder Series Main Event. A starting stack of 100,000 chips and 20-minute blinds throughout give high rollers ample room to maneuver.

You can channel your inner Phil Hellmuth and turn up fashionably late at any point during the first five hours, and re-enter up to five times while late registration is available. Day 1 in the $1,050 Bounty Builder Series Main Event concludes 8h 50 min after it starts. Day 2 bursts into life at 6:05 p.m. GMT on February 17.

Good luck out there this weekend!
