PokerStars to set world record
PokerStars are aiming to get a place in the Guinness Book of Records by arranging a tournament that can take up to 35 000 players.
The tournament will be held at the 28th of December and the buy in is only $11. The prize pool is guaranteed to be $500 000 which means that even if 35 000 players should register for this tournament there will still be a $150 000 overlay.
Until now the biggest online poker tournaments have had around 20 000 players, so if PokerStars manages to pull this off they will break the old record by far which would give them a secure spot in the Book of Records. At the time of writing there are about 8000 players registered for this tournament and if you want to make sure that you have a spot we suggest that you register before the 28th of December as chances are it will be full before that once the word really gets out.
The winner of this tournament will get $30 000 and there are a total of 8750 places paid in this tournament.
If you are still not a member at PokerStars there has never been a better time to create an account. When you open your account using the PokerStars marketing code you will receive a free $50 bonus and get access to restricted freerolls.
