PokerStars turns 10 announces promotions and prizes

written by: Steve under News Comments: Comments Off

The last really big milestone that warranted a major celebration in the online poker world was Full Tilt Poker’s 5th birthday back in 2010. Now we are on the cusp of another anniversary and can expect some festivities as PokerStars celebrates the major milestone of turning 10 years-old this December; an event that will likely make Full Tilt Poker’s fifth birthday bash look like small potatoes.

The actual date of PokerStars 10th birthday will be on December 12th, but the promotions and giveaways will begin before, and last well after, this date. Among the big promotions announced by PokerStars is a massive Sunday Million tournament with $10 million guaranteed prize-pool, as well as the site giving away an unprecedented 100 prize-packages worth $15,000 each to the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA), including a buy-in to the $10k Main Event.

The 10th Anniversary Sunday Million tournament is being dubbed as the biggest in the site’s history, which is not hard to imagine when you take into consideration the $10 million guarantee the site is offering for the $215 tournament –with PokerStars guaranteeing at least a $2 million prize going to the winner of the historic tournament.

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu may have summed it up best, stating, “Amazing that it’s been 10 years! I’m very proud of my association with PokerStars, and this December’s 10th Anniversary Celebration is going to be a doozy… There will be tons of cash prizes for bankrolls of all sizes, plus giveaways and a $10 million Sunday Million event.”
