Poker Stars is by far the biggest online poker room in the world.
It took its position after PartyPoker withdrew from the US market. This lead to a large migration of players from PartyPoker to Poker Stars. While this online poker room doesn’t have very competitive bonuses and only offers a $50 match signup bonus, Poker Stars does have the biggest tournaments both in their monetary value and their sheer number. Besides, with so many players on their network, you won’t need to look for another room to play at for a really long time.
With so many events and promotions taking place at Poker Stars on a weekly basis, we thought it would be a good idea to let you know what’s happening at Poker Stars in February.
Are you the best poker player Hungary has to offer?
Compete against the 3 star guest stars Ocskay, Dragóner and József Éles to claim your share of a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool!

Qualify NOW for the biggest weekly online tournaments anywhere
While some people spend their Sundays lazing around the house doing as little as possible, PokerStars players are battling to claim their share of millions of dollars in cash prizes. The action gets underway every Sunday at 12:45 ET when the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up guarantees a minimum $750,000 prize pool. At 16:30 ET, the action gets really serious when the PokerStars Sunday Million No Limit Hold’em tournament offers a weekly $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool. First place prize money is close to $200,000, and sometimes more! Take your shot at either of these tournaments by winning a seat through regular satellites running all week long, which start from as little as $3.33 or 400 FPPs.

World Record Week on PokerStars
PokerStars bid farewell to 2008 in record breaking style thanks to all their players! They were able to successfully create a new Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Online Poker Tournament’ EVER! For the 35,000 players who came together to be a part of something special, we hope that they had a great time playing poker and breaking a record! Eventually it was ‘stan34powa’ who overcame this huge field to win the top prize of $30,000. Along with this record breaking tournament, there was also 10,000 player Sit & Go’s and Sunday Majors with raised guarantees. The Sunday Warm-Up was given a $1 million guarantee while the Sunday Million had its guarantee raised to $2.5 million.
The PokerStars family expands
Team PokerStars Pro is pleased to welcome two new members to the Team as the PokerStars family continues to grow. Two of the PokerStars Million Dollar Men have recently taken the next step in their poker careers only months after both secured final table finishes at the World Series Main Event. Dennis Phillips is a player from Missouri who has made two final table finishes on the World Series Circuit side events before achieving a third place finish at the Main Event final table in 2008, worth $4.5 million. Ylon Schwartz is a New Yorker with 11 World Series cashes to his credit in addition to his fourth place finish at the 2008 Main Event worth $3.77 million.
Jason Alexander, better known to many as George Costanza from “Seinfeld”, has also joined the PokerStars family as a ‘Friend of PokerStars’. As a keen poker enthusiast, this new role will see Jason acting as an official ambassador for the site, representing PokerStars by playing in live tournaments and online under the alias ‘J.Alexander’.
As Team PokerStars Pro is continually looking to add the best players around to this elite team, make sure you keep an eye out for news of future signings.
EPT Monte Carlo approaches
The conclusion to Season 5 of Europe’s biggest poker tour is on the horizon. On April 28, EPT Monte Carlo will get underway at one of the most glamorous casinos in the world to wrap up another successful season.
Last year’s EPT Grand Final saw the poker world descend on Monte Carlo in search of victory and millions of Euros in prize money. A record 842 players produced an €8.4 million prize pool to make it the richest poker tournament in Europe. As the EPT prepares to return, this year’s event is all set to repeat the success of the Season 4 finale.
Now PokerStars is giving you the chance to experience everything Monte Carlo has to offer by winning an $18,800 package to the upcoming EPT event. This will include your tournament buy-in, luxury accommodation, and $1,000 towards expenses to ensure you receive the full PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo experience. Qualifiers are running NOW starting from $2.22 or 111 FPP, and you can find them under the Events > EPT tab.
