Poker Star has just set a new Guinness World Record for hosting the Largest Online Poker Tournament in the world.
An impressive 65,000 players from 80% of the world’s countries participated in this poker tournament, breaking the poker room’s earlier record of 35,000 players from December 2008.
The record was set on Sunday, July 19, when Poker Stars hosted an online poker tournament with a $130,000 guaranteed prize pool. The event had a super low buy-in of just $1, making it very affordable. The first place winner from South Carolina, USA went home with a prize of $13,000. The tournament paid out generously and 16,250 players cashed in from the event.
