PokerStars breaks world record for largest tournament
It
became very clear many days ago that PokerStars would be making history
today. Our previous Guinness World Record for the largest poker
tournament was 149,196 players, and we zoomed passed that figure in
early registrations so fast that the 200,000 cap was reached well before
kick-off today. So a huge pat on the back to all of you who took part
in the $1 tournament - a representative from Guinness World Records has
approved the result. You're all record-breakers!At the time of writing, play in the tournament is still going on, with 11,000 hardy souls still in with a shout for the $50,000 first prize, a very healthy return on a $1 buy-in. While legions of you were playing at home all around the world, some folk got together to play at the Prague Hilton hotel, where EPT Prague starts tomorrow.
Just moments after being officially unveiled as a member of Team PokerStars Pro, WSOP runner-up Martin Staszko joined some of his new team mates to play in the tournament. Sitting with him were Fatima Moreira de Melo, Martin Hruby, Richard Toth, Marcin Horecki and Dag Palovic as well as some PokerStars players who were invited to join in the fun and have some drinks on us.
