PokerStars Next Guinness World Record Attempt: Dec. 27
TourneyMan on December 24th, 2009
Poker Stars is trying once again to break its own record in The Guinness Book of World Records for the most players in an online poker tournament. We suppose they just want to increase the distance between their lead and hot-on-their-tail Full Tilt Poker (which tried last time to beat PokerStars at their own game, but failed).
So this latest stake in their claim of PokerStars’ world supremacy is a $1 buy-in $300,000 guaranteed tournament taking place on December 27, starting at 2:45 pm. If PokerStars reaches its minimum of 65,001 players, then this will be the third time in twelve months that the site will have broken its record.
The last one took place in July when 155 countries contributed 65,000 players to printing PokerStars’ name once more in the history books (or the Guinness Book, at least). Before that, last December, PokerStars set the original record for the most players in an online poker tournament at a “mere” 35,000.
