Pokerstars Makes a $150,000 Mistake
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 by Phil
There has been another mistake at Pokerstars, this time in favor of the players and this is one that they can’t reneg on.
Pokerstars is going for a world record. They want to have the most entrants ever in a poker tournament, only someone has made a huge mistake in calculating their prize pool. They have a tournament set up with the entries capped at 35,000 players and it is going to be a $10 buy-in on December 28th with $500,000 guaranteed.
If you do the math, you’ll see that
Pokerstars is going to be adding a minimum of $150,000 dollars to this prize pool. Even if the Max. number of entrants show up, they will be adding the $150K, so this is a really juicy mistake for the players; especially since it’s only a $10 tournament.
The top ten payouts are gonna look like this;
- $30,000
- $20,000
- $15,000
- $10,000
- $7,500
- $5,000
- $3,500
- $2,500
- $2,000
- $1,500
I’ve been playing else where lately, and almost strictly in the cash games, but I just got money transferred over to
Pokerstars to play in this tournament. I hope that you’ll all sign up and take advantage of this, because this is going to be a monumental tournament.
