Beginning on October 17th, Pokerstars will be running a new promo called the Pokerstars PCA Freeroll Fantasy where 27 players will get a chance at a $15,100 prize package.
The Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure is the second largest live tournament in the world, trailing only the Main Event for the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. This promotion is for the 2010 running of the PCA which will be held at the Atlantis Resort & Casino on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. There are a ton of daily tournaments being held at the 2010 PCA, highlighted by the Main Event which runs from Jan. 5 – 11.
The 2009 PCA had a total prize pool of almost $12.7 million, and the winner was Poorya Nazari from Canada who took away $3 million! There were 1347 players in the 2009 event, with over 80% of them qualifying via satellite tournaments at Pokerstars. Well, now it’s your turn.
Running through Dec. 5th, the Pokerstars PCA Freeroll Fantasy gives players a chance to play in a daily freeroll tournament or for $1.10 as well. The freeroll tournaments begin 20 minutes past the hour, 24 hours a day. You can play in one freeroll per day, at any time you like. The top nine finishers in each freeroll will win a seat into one of the three Pokerstars PCA Freeroll Fantasy Main Events. Register to Play.
On December 6th, there will be three Pokerstars PCA Freeroll Fantasy Main Event tournaments, scheduled to suit all time zones. In each of these events, the 9 final table players will each win a $15,100 prize package, for a total of 27 winners. The prize package includes the $10,300 buy-in for the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure, hotel accommodations, plus $1000 spending cash.
Although you can only play in one PCA Freeroll Fantasy tournament each day, you can play in as many of the $1.10 qualifiers as you like. These also run 24 times a day, at 40 minutes past the hour. The top nine finishers in each of the $1.10 qualifiers win a seat into the Pokerstars PCA Freeroll Fantasy Main Event, and the top 15% win a share of the prize pool. So, it’s not just the top nine that win a prize, you can alternatively win cash as well.
In the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure, you’ll also get a chance to play against the top players in the world. A lot of the top pros call this their favorite tournament of the year, so if you want a chance to play against the biggest names in poker, this is it.
