Third Annual PokerStars Caribbean Adventure to Be Held at the Atlantis Casino-Resort in January 2006
World's Largest Tournament Poker Site to Host Televised World Poker Tour Spectacular Featuring the Game's Biggest Names
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The new year will begin with the first major poker tournament of 2006, held at one of the world's most luxurious casinos, attended by the biggest names in poker. PokerStars.com, the world's largest tournament poker website, will host the third annual PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) at the Atlantis Casino-Resort, Jan. 5-11, 2006.
The PCA will attract many of the biggest names in poker. The last three world poker champions, Chris Moneymaker (2003), Greg Raymer (2004), and Joe Hachem (2005) will compete. Furthermore, Tom McEvoy, the 1983 World Series of Poker champion will attend. John Gale, from England, who won last year's PCA event, is also expected to defend his title.
The six-day poker spectacular offers multiple daily tournaments, cash games, satellites, single table tournaments, and the crown jewel of the tournament -- the PCA championship. For the third consecutive year, the PCA will be taped and broadcast as part of the enormously-popular World Poker Tour, shown on the Travel Channel and other television networks around the world.
The buy-in to the championship event is $8,000 ($7,800 plus a $200 entry fee). The prize pool is projected to be $5 million, making this one of the world's most lucrative poker tournaments. Approximately 600 players -- amateurs and professionals alike -- are expected to participate in the main event alone, with hundreds more in attendance for the side action and vacation fun.
PokerStars.com is giving away over $750,000 in free entries to players at the site. All packages include the entire $8,000 entry fee, one week for two at the renowned Atlantis Resort and Casino, including meals, plus $1,000 in spending money. Super-satellites and shootouts to the PCA are now being held daily at PokerStars.com. Other qualifying satellites cost as little as $2 -- which means two bucks can turn into a seat on a World Poker Tour event, and at least a million dollars in prize money. Many others will qualify to play in freerolls (tournaments which cost nothing to play).
