PokerStars Caribbean Adventure
This was published 31-12-2017A good way to bring in the New Year is by heading to the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) which is due to take place between Saturday, 6th and Sunday, 14th January 2018.
Included in the schedule are 31 action-packed tournaments, the highlight of which is the six-day $10,300 PCA Main Event taking place from 8th to 14th January when players will start off with 30,000 in chips and 60-minute blind levels before increasing to 90 minutes later in the tournament.
Last year saw Christian Harder finishing on top of the 738-entrant field when the event was branded as the PokerStars Championship Bahamas Event. Harder won an amount of $429,664 after agreeing to a heads-up deal with Cliff Josephy.
The upcoming Man Event will see the buy-in being doubled from $5,000 to $10,000. In addition, 300 players qualified online at PokerStars for a full package to the Main Event, valued at $14,855.
Those who participate in at least one tournament in the festival will be invited to a PCA $50,000 Freeroll on Sunday, 14th January 2018. Side-event buy-ins commence at only $160. Any player appearing at the final table will be given a gift, valued at up to $500 over and above the cash amount awarded.
Players can also get involved in the $50,000 Player Giveaway and earn tickets in tournaments as well as cash games. Tournament players can earn five tickets into a random draw where six players will be awarded prizes by being seated in an event at the first blind level. Another five tickets will be given if they bubble any event and one ticket if they finish in the money in any event.
Anytime cash game players are dealt a full house, they will earn one ticket while two tickets are earned any time they are dealt quads and three tickets if they are dealt a royal flush. Cash game players will also automatically participate in a High Hand Jackpot where $300 is awarded every hour during 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. between Sunday, 7th and Saturday, 13th January 2018.
