THE TOURNAMENT THAT MAKES THE STREAM EXPLODE

Second Baaaaar is a weekly MTT live-commentated by Benny & Yu.

There are classic plays… and then there are the ones that make Benny & Yu jump out of their chairs.

On the flop, it’s just a bet. But on the turn…

“THAT’S A SECONDDDD BAAAAAAAAAAR!”

The move. The scream. The tournament.

If you watch the stream, you already know.
If you play the tournament, you’re about to find out.

SECOND BAAAAR was born from those stream moments where the pressure builds, everything can change in an instant, and a second barrel sends Benny & Yu into absolute chaos.

That iconic catchphrase now has its own tournament.

Benny & Yu’s Bonus – For Your Second, SECOND BAAAAR.

The concept is simple.
On top of the regular prize pool, there’s a progressive jackpot waiting to be claimed by any player who wins the SECOND BAAAAR tournament twice.

Every week, an extra €100 is added to the jackpot.

Bonus

PokerStars France will be running a series of Second Baaaaar tournaments on selected Sundays in 2026, starting from March 29, 2026 (“Tournament(s)”).  Tournaments are open exclusively to players based in France. They will run at 20:00 local time and be live streamed on PokerStars France YouTube channel. Format and structure details will be displayed in the Tournament lobby before the Tournament starts.

In addition to these Prize Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and tournament rules governing the participation in tournaments on the PokerStars website apply to your participation in the Tournaments.

Ways to Enter:

Players may enter a Tournament through one of the following methods:

5.1 Direct Buy-in

  • Eligible players may register directly by paying the applicable €5 buy-in.

5.2 Freeroll Qualification Tournament

Prize Description:

Each Tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of €500.

In addition to that, each Tournament offers a progressive jackpot (“Jackpot”) that players can win by winning a Tournament twice during 2026 (each a “Jackpot Winner”). 

The Jackpot starts at €100 and increases by €100 each subsequent Tournament until: a) it is won by a Jackpot Winner; or b) it reaches €2,300 in value. If the Jackpot reaches €2,300 before being won, it will automatically be converted into one (1) Silver Power Pass. Following such conversion the Jackpot value will no longer increase and the Silver Power Pass will remain available until awarded to a Jackpot Winner.

Once the Jackpot (or Silver Power Pass) is awarded, the Jackpot value will reset to €100.

If there is no Jackpot Winner before the end of the 2026 calendar year, PokerStars France may organize a dedicated freeroll tournament open to all individual Tournament winners during 2026, with the Silver Power Pass awarded to the winner of that freeroll tournament (“Final Freeroll Winner”).

PokerStars France may award the Jackpot of value up to €2,300 in the form of tournament tickets, event packages, promotional entries, cash equivalents, or a combination thereof of equivalent value.
