Time to Ensure Your Seat at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2011

with $25m worth of prizes, top Poker players and a prestigious title, there’s no surprise why so many people are anticipating the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2011. See the newly released schedule here!

PokerStars has released the schedule for their yearly trip to the Bahamas and revealed that there will be more than $25 million to be won in the Caribbean Islands this coming January. The ten day 2011 PokerStars Caribean Adventure will run from January 7th – 16th and feature more than 50 poker tournaments spread across a wide range of buy-ins, formats and game variants.

The $10,300 main event has not changed from last year and the $25,000 High Roller will also be returning. However, they have added a televised $100,000 Super High Roller this year. Other highlights will include a $10K Turbo Six-Max tournament, a televised $5K Bounty Shootout and also a new deep sea fishing derby and poker hybrid event.

Like every year the Atlantis Hotel and Casino on Paradise Island will be hosting all the action. The PCA Tournament Director Michael Ward said, “The PCA is truly a Poker Player’s Paradise. Each January thousands of players descend upon Atlantis to take part in the first major tournament of the year. Last year’s event produced over $24 million in total prize money and without a doubt the PCA 2011 is going to be richer than ever. The PCA is a must-play event for both the recreational and the professional player.”

So far over 170 players have qualified for the main event on PokerStars and there are more satellites to be played. They have a $15,780 prize package to be won which includes the main event buy-in, nine nights’ accommodation for two at the Atlantis and over $1,000 spending money.
Last year’s main event was won by 19 year old Harrison Gimbel from Florida who took home $2.2 million. Previous winners include Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Poorya Nazari, Ryan Daut and Gus Hansen.
