PokerStars hosts ‘biggest ever’ online poker day

PokerStars has hosted what it said was the “biggest day in online poker history”, offering players more than $28 million (€25 million) in guaranteed prizes.

Yesterday (Sunday), the Amaya-owned operator staged 1,275 tournaments, with players around the world able to take part.

The initiative coincided with the PokerStars Spring Championship of Poker Main Event.

Severin Rasset, director of poker innovations and operations at PokerStars, said: “This is a really special day for us and our players, which will go down in online poker history as a record-breaking moment.

“The huge prize pools on offer further cement our position as the biggest and the best and on Sunday when players compete for $28 million we will be delivering millions of winning moments too.”
