"Power Path is all about making our biggest and best events even more accessible to you, our awesome pokerstars community.

Well, here’s some news we think you’ll like. Entries for Power Path Step 4 tourneys will be slashed to just $55 from October 14.

If you have a $109 Step 4 ticket, you can either use this before the change, swap this for 2 x $55 Step 4 tickets, or you can use this for selected online events such as the Sunday Million.

Step 4 tournaments will remain as ticket entry only. So, head to PokerStars to play your way through the steps to iconic poker experiences.

Start your path."

Iim also getting F over big time there i was gonna start doing them in few weeks LOL

The Power Path offers three different prizes:

  • BRONZE POWER PASS – $109
  • SILVER POWER PASS – $2,500
  • GOLD POWER PASS -$10,300
Theyre gonna be tourney to win bronze pass from 55$ to 109$ ? Doesnt make much sens i guess you will play for a silver pass or a gold pass and the bottom winners will get a 109$ bronze passThey say its made so less pro will play them and to even the field but that change will just favorize pro players for sure.I hope understood it rigth and i can keep my step 4 109$ and use it for the sunday millions even after the change -_-

Interesting news. I have one ticket for $109, I wonder how I can exchange it for two for $55.......
I understand that it will be possible to exchange tickets only starting from 14 October, or is it possible to do it now as well?
Because so far I don't see that there is such a possibility, maybe I don't understand something.

You will be able to exchange it after the 14 of october but why would you want to trade a ticket that you can use for the sunday millions and trade it for 2 55$ satelitte ticket?

That is, these two tickets for $55 are exclusively for playing in the satellite?

The new $55 Step 4 tickets can only be used for Power Path, whereas the previous $109 Step 4 tickets could be used to buy in to the Sunday Million. This keeps all prizes within the Power Path.

Step 4 – $55 MTT (no direct buy-in)

Here’s where players can win either a Bronze Power Pass, Silver Power Pass, or Gold Power Pass.

Added value prizes are also offered, while regional versions may also award tickets to relevant events (UKIPT, BSOP etc.)

So no you cant exchange it for a 55$ tourney you need to do another path....Im on the chat with pokerstars support i need to confirm that i can still exchange my 109$ power path for a sunday millions entree after the 14 of october.

All the changes that take place at PokerStars only make things worse. this happens literally every time they announce these changes. This site will not survive until 2030.

Yeah it's not a good change, but if you win a bronze pass (which won't be too hard to do from a $55 ticket if prizes are mostly.bronze plus a couple of silver) you can play Sunday.millions

They have a history in such last moment changes . Bad history . They change it in just one week . Disgusting. They make it of less and less value . Less tickets on sats , more difficult to progress to the next phase , now no 109$ ticket to play it at the SM . I guess less and less people play power path nowadays . I wonder how many (if any) players have actually won sth from this power path steps , besides few pennies or $$$ for candies ....

No because there will be no more 109 events after and I doubt they will auto swap it to 2x50 tickets.

So yes u will be most likely be able to use it for sm after 14th.

This change doesn't change anything
Your tickets are safe
For $55 tickets you play a tournament with guaranteed silver passes and bronze passes worth $109$
You can still play Sunday Million for 109$

It sure does change the value of the step 3 tickets that were won before the change.

Before one was able to play Sunday Million after winning step 3 . Now, after the change, another step is needed to be able to do so.

How do u not see this?

such bs trying to play there . big stack can play 7, 2 off and beat A A , most times . so gross and they tell ya your chance of winning , but it solemnly plays out that way. they have it so your great hand is the setup they gave ya to get you out , not for you to win just bet . GG poker is the same . I'd love to play a more realistic site.

it's very sad to me . I love playing poker but these greedy sites have turned the game into bingo. Charge enough to play tournaments and rake the money you win at cash tables . But they still want you gone so you can re-enter. so play bs cards and take out the smaller stacks , no matter how great their hands are. greedy and greasy.
