The Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament was a series of televised no limit Texas hold 'em poker tournaments that operated out of Las Vegas for three years.
Winner 2004 — Gus Hanson
Winner 2005 — Johnny Chan
Winner 2006 — Todd Brunson
The Grand Final winner received $1,000,000. The payouts for the other entrants from the $3,200,000 prize pool were unclear in the broadcast. However, Phil Ivey has said, on Full Tilt, that he walked away with about $400,000, and, therefore, broke even.
In the first two rounds of each series, players stared with 100,000 in chips. Their finish in each of these rounds determines their starting chips for the final round of the series.
