BetMGM's Fall Poker Showdown: $1 Million Prize Pool and Baseball-Themed Tournaments

BetMGM has launched the Fall Poker Showdown tournament series with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool. The series runs from October 26 to November 2, 2025, featuring 37 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $25 to $500. The Fall Poker Showdown series draws inspiration from America’s favorite pastime — Baseball — with creatively themed tournaments like “First Pitch,” “RBI,” and “Slider.”

The series had a strong opening day, drawing thousands of combined entries and awarding nearly a quarter of a million in prizes. The series will reach its climax on Sunday, November 2, with two six-figure guaranteed events: the $250 Moonshot and the $500 Captain, each boasting $100,000 in prize money. The winners of these two headline events will also receive a customized BetMGM jersey and jacket, respectively. Out of the 37 tournaments, 15 are designated as Jersey/Jacket Events, where champions will be awarded a custom BetMGM Baseball jersey or jacket in addition to their cash prize.

The series is also accompanied by two major promotions: a leaderboard challenge and a hybrid poker-casino promotion. PokerStars US is expected to launch a new tournament series from November 21 to December 1, 2025.
