The 7th annual Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure is coming soon, and satellite tournaments are running now. The 2009 main event had a prize pool well over $12 million, with the winner taking home a cool $3 million! There were 1347 entrants, and Pokerstars is shooting for even more this year. The only tournament in the world that is bigger is the WSOP main event.
The PCA is actually part of three different poker tours that all play this event. The EPT, APPT, and LAPT all converge on this one giant event which is the favorite tournament for many pro players. If you win a seat, you’ll have a chance to play with the biggest names in poker, including Pokerstars Pro players Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem, and more.
There are tons of tournaments in this years schedule, but the Main Event begins on Jan. 5th and goes through the 11th. The tournament will be held on Paradise Island at the Atlantis Resort & Casino in the Bahamas.
