PokerStars Ties With News Site to Launch $30,000 Poker Tourney
This year has its fair share of collaborations and tie-ups, the newest being PokerNews and PokerStars fun poker tournament, the $30,000 Guaranteed PokerNews Main Event. This special tournament will be held on PokerStars site and is open to PokerNews players. If you are one among the many looking to dig into this event, there are about three ways to register for the main event, out of which one option will be closed as of June 30th.
For existing customers, you are expected to earn 150 VPPs before June 30th to be eligible to play at the environment. If the number is reached by the end of the month, PokerNews will give you a seat at the $30,000 game. The information will be directly sent to the respective PokerNews account. To keep things interesting, PokerStars will look up and evaluate your VPPs earned from May 16th.
As the countdown to June 30th the deadline draws close, many players may find themselves short of the required VPP’s to qualify. However, if such a situation should arise players should note that it is not the end of the line as the PokerStars and PokerNews tournament organisers offer a chance for those poker players without sufficient VPPs, to buy-in. The buy-in amount is insignificant compared to the large prize pool of $30,000. PokerStars and PokerNews have set the buy-in amount at $10 + $1. For players opting for buy-ins, the tournament will be password protected, and the password will be released closer to July 9th start date.
The game is scheduled to start on July 9th at 2 pm ET and each player will get a stack of 30,000 chips to play. The game works on a blind structure that will start at 50/100, which then will increase every 15 minutes. This is an amazing game format as it provides a slow progress to the top, with a small player pool. Hence, players can expect a substantial pay out on winning.
In addition to the two ways to enter the tournament, the third and final choice gives new customers a chance to enter by downloading PokerStars through their tournament partner PokerNews. After downloading the online Poker platform, newbies must enter the flashing Marketing Code – UKPOKERNEWS, after which, they will need to use the bonus code STARS600 to make their first deposit. On completion of the set requirements, members will now receive a full 100% match up to a $600 limit first deposit bonus and a token for the PokerNews Main Event delivered to their PokerNews account.
It does not matter if you are a new or an existing member of PokerNews, what matters is the $30,000. The tournament is set to blaze through the poker arena and offers a great way to earn cash prizes. However, it is important that online poker players, both new and existing must realise that time is of the essence here if you are looking for a chance to win.
