How much is guaranteed in the Jacked Main Event?
The Jacked Main Event guarantees $250,000, and it is the main reason to play the series. Stake’s schedule lists a guarantee for every event but no single reliable series total, so this guide quotes each event’s own guarantee and skips a headline number.
How does the Jacked Main Event work?
The Jacked Main Event is a multi-flight tournament with $200 Day 1 flights. There are 24 regular Day 1 flights across the series, plus two turbo flights on Sunday 29 November at 05:45 and 09:45 UTC. You can enter more than one Day 1, and your chips are combined. You have to finish a flight with chips to qualify. Qualified stacks return for the final day on Sunday 29 November at 15:00 UTC.
Which Jacked Main Event flights suit Asian time zones?
Eight Jacked Main Event flights start in the Asian afternoon or evening. The rest start between 03:45 and 06:45 Singapore time, which suits night owls only.

Three regular Jacked tournaments run every day at times that fit an Asian day:
- Heavy Front Kick, 04:15 UTC (12:15 Singapore, 13:15 Seoul): NLH 8-max, $30.

What are the Jacked Black Friday and Cyber Monday half-price days?
On Friday 27 November (Black Friday) and Monday 30 November (Cyber Monday), Stake runs its regular Jacked events at about half the usual buy-in. For example, the Heavy Front Kick drops from $30 to $15 and the Jacked Big Game Hunter from $20 to $10. Jacked Main Event flights stay at $200 on both days, and Black Friday has two of them, at 11:45 and 19:45 UTC.
