PokerStars is now holding qualifiers for its annual
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (
PCA) tournament to be held in early January. The tournament is part of the
World Poker Tour circuit and is open to anyone, not just PokerStars qualifying players. Winning a seat for the event through PokerStars amounts to a $12,000 prize package that includes the tournament buy-in, airfare and accommodations, and $1,000 credited to the winner's PokerStars account.
Last year's winner, Canadian-born Steve Paul-Ambrose, took home $1.3 million after investing only $110 in PokerStars satellites. Paul-Ambrose also earned himself a seat at the
World Poker Tour Championship, worth $25,000, for his win in the event. The final heads-up match of the
PCA was between Paul-Ambrose and another PokerStars qualifier, Brook Lyter.
Players can gain entry to the tournament through various means. PokerStars offers satellites for as low as $2 and direct qualifiers for just $33. PokerStars also offers $175 double-shootout direct qualifiers and free qualifiers for players who have accumulated enough Frequent Player Points.
The event will take place Jan. 4-11, 2007 at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas.
