Jack’s turning up the heat for August. The $100K Hot Streak is doubling to a $200,000 GTD, and this time, you’ve got two ways in: play your way to a seat or buy in directly.
Play qualifying cash-game hours from August 1 through August 28. Qualify once to earn your seat and 30,000 starting chips. Keep playing through the qualifying windows to build a bigger stack before the August 30 at 7PM showdown.
Players can also buy in directly for $250 and start with 30,000 chips.
HOW IT WORKS
Qualifying Period: August 1 – August 28
Event Date: August 30 | Time 7PM
The promotion includes four seven-day qualifying windows from August 1 through August 28.
Hours reset at the start of each new qualifying window. Each qualifying window is independent, and hours do not carry over from one qualifying window to another.
QUALIFY BY PLAYING
Play 35+ qualifying hours during any qualifying window and secure your seat in the $200K August Heat Wave with 30,000 starting chips.
BUY IN DIRECTLY
Players may also enter through a direct buy-in of $250 and start with 30,000 chips.
QUALIFYING GAMES
Cash games only
$0.25 / $0.50 blinds or higher

The maximum starting stack is 45,000 chips.
QUALIFYING WINDOWS

LAST CHANCE REDEMPTION
Players who do not reach 35+ qualifying hours in any single qualifying window can still earn entry with 30,000 starting chips by reaching 100+ total qualifying hours during the full qualifying period from August 1 through August 28.
Last Chance Redemption earns entry only and does not award additional bonus chips.
THE BIG DAY: AUGUST 30 at 7PM
On August 30, all qualified players and direct buy-in players take their seats in $200K August Heat Wave.
Qualify once and start with 30,000 chips. Keep hitting the qualifying-window mark to build your stack up to 45,000 chips.
Two ways in. $200,000 GTD at the finish line.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Multi-table play counts toward qualifying hours. Example: 30 minutes played on two tables simultaneously counts as 1 full hour.
Entry is automatic for qualifying players. Hours are tracked in-app, and qualifying players will be automatically registered.
Players may also enter through a direct buy-in of $250 and start with 30,000 chips.
Entry is either earned through qualifying hours or purchased through direct buy-in; qualifying-hour chips and direct buy-in chips cannot be combined into one starting stack.
Re-entry is available for after a player is eliminated.
Seats earned through qualifying hours, including Last Chance Redemption, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged, transferred, refunded, or redeemed for the cash equivalent of the buy-in amount.
Qualifying-player bonus chips are based on qualifying activity completed during the August qualifying period.
The maximum starting stack is 45,000 chips.

Promotion runs from August 1, 2026 at 12:00AM CT through August 30 2026 at 11:59PM CT. Qualification is based on a valid referral completed during the promotional period.
