PokerStars All Star Week
Between the 23rd and 28th of March PokerStars is arranging something known as the All Star Week. During this week all of the “All Star Challengers” who consists of VIP players, Event winners and tournament qualifiers will challenge Team PokerStars professionals in a series of heads-up matches.
For every match that is won by an All Star Challenger the player will be awarded with $1000 and the same amount of money will go towards a common prize pool for the team to share. But if a Team PokerStars player should be victorious in one of these matches the $1000 will go to a charitable organization of Victor Ramdin’s choice. Victor Ramdin gets to pick the charitable cause as he is acting as the Captain for Team PokerStars.com.
In order to be able to participate in the All Star Challengers team you will have to achieved one of the following things during 2008:
- Have won the PokerStars Sunday Million
- Reached a final table in WCOOP
- Finished at the top of the PokerStars Tournament Ranking.
- Have reached SuperNova Elite
If you haven’t done any of these things during 2008 there is one last option for those of you looking to qualify for the All Star Team. You will be able to play your way into the team by winning a wild card in one of the satellites that are running for the All Star Week. The buy in for these satellites is $11 and you will find it in the tournament lobby at PokerStars under the satellite tab.
PokerStars will also add a supporter tournament to the mix where you can register as a supporter for either team. For every victory that your supporting team takes down there will be $1000 added to a tournament prize pool for a tournament that will only be open for the supporting members of that team.
