PokerStars News - October 17, 2006

Still accepting Americans - and getting rewarded for it!


We like to think that no good deed goes unrewarded and that's why we were happy to see that the PokerStars weekly $1 million guaranteed tournament on Sunday October 15th reached all time records: 6,157 players and a prize fund of $1,231,000! AlphaPlayers congratulates "Hacken" (sorry, his actual online name uses a part of the Swedish alphabet that we can't reproduce here) on becoming the latest "Big Sunday" winner. Join us at PokerStars on October 22nd as things are sure to be just as exciting in the next $1 million guaranteed tourney. Satellites are available 24 hours a day, including a whole bunch of the popular $11 "shootout" style tournaments that award 2 spots in the $215 events "big one".

PokerStars News - October 17, 2006-Body-2

AlphaPlayers hopes that all online poker players in the U.S. remember the companies that stood by them (like PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet and Neteller). All the companies that were so quick to ban U.S. players are guilty of serious overreaction (in every case the law could do them no harm) and should be avoided in the future if they once again try to attract U.S. poker players.

PokerStars recently announced the "Moneymaker Millionaire" tournament, a series of freeroll tournaments leading to a $1 million first prize package! EVERYBODY with a PokerStars account gets at least one shot at the first level qualifiers held several times each day. Finish in the top 50 at the first level and you get to play in the weekly second level. Finish in the top 240 at level 2 and you're on your way to the monthly round 3 tournament. The top 120 finishers in the third round each month get payouts ranging upwards from $100. The top 5 or 6 spots each month win entries in the big (and LIVE) final round at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino! The rest of the monthly final table gets an entry into the annual PokerStars Caribbean Adventure live tournament! And best of all - it's all FREE to everyone who signs up at PokerStars!

And if you're someone who plays a LOT of poker, you might want to consider moving your operations to PokerStars. Their new VIP program has some pretty lucrative benefits for (very) frequent players.
