PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2010

Posted on 10/23/2009 by giorgio

When winter starts to chill your days, we dream of going away to somewhere sunny and warm. PokerStars is going to make that dream a reality for many winning players with the return of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA). This year’s PCA is going to be the best yet with more events then ever before and larger prize pools.

2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

The 2010 PCA is going to be held at the Atlantis Resort and Casino on Paradise Island in the Bahamas starting on January 4th and runs until Janurary 14th. You can qualify now to win your PCA prize package by playing in PokerStars satellite tournaments.

The PCA prize packages are worth $15,310 dollars and includes your buy in for the Main Event, 8 nights hotel accommodations, a meal credit and money for other expenses.

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is going to be one of the largest tournaments held this year. The 2010 PCA is part of the Latin America Poker Tour, Asia Pacific Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour.

If this makes you a little concerned about playing against professional players and others with a lot of skill and think that your chances at winning a lot of cash could be slim, think again. Last year’s PCA winner was Poorya Nazari and he won his seat online via PokerStars and took home $3,000,000 dollars for his first place finish.

The Main Event of the PCA is going to start on January 5th and run until January 11th. There are also a large number of other events at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2010 including the High Roller event.

This final event will be held on June 7 and has a buy-in of $1,500+$80. Alternatively you can of course qualify through satellites prior to the event – this option is available for all the 14 different events of the ECOOP IV.
