PokerStars Attempts to Break Own Guinness Book World Record

22 December, 2008

PokerStars is attempting to set a new world’s record and it wants your help in pulling it off.

The record PokerStars is looking to set is for the largest player field ever for an online poker tournament. The tournament in question—a $500,000 Guaranteed Tournament with an $11 buy-in—will be held on December 28 at 3:30 pm ET.

The player pool will be capped at 35,000 players—a number which, if reached, would land PokerStars in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The multi-table event, which has over 2,000 players registered so far, will include as many as 3,500 tables running at once. Blinds will increase “Turbo”-style, meaning that they will go up every 10-minutes.

If successful, PokerStars will break its own record, set last year, of 20,000 players in a single online tournament.

To register for the $500K World Record attempt, just login to the PokerStars Tournament lobby and click the Special Tournaments tab.
