The first $2000 PCA Monthly on October 19 had a very low attendance indeed. Just 112 players, with the top ten getting their $215 Tickets on top of their prize money and a total of 27 making it in the money. So approximately1 in 4 players made it into the money and what makes this even more special is that for their $2.20 buy-in the players in the first tournament got the equivalent of a $20 buy-in, which is 10 times the equity of the original buy-in.
This could be the best value money added tournament you will find on PokerStars, so don't miss out on the next one!
The PCA is always a very popular event, particularly with young Americans who don’t have to be 21 to play in the tournament. It has a Spring Break feel to it and you also have a much better chance of getting paid because roughly 20% of the field will make it into the money, instead of the usual 10%. Last year 19 year old Harrison Gimbel made a name for himself in his first live tournament ever by winning $2.2 million:
If that wasn't enough already, PokerStars has a generous 100% up to $600 Sign Up Bonus when you use marketing code POKERNEWS.COM and bonus code STARS600, the biggest tournament guarantees in online poker, more live event satellites than anyone else and much more. They really are the biggest room in online poker by a mile and also boast the most generous VIP Loyalty Scheme in poker and the Battle of the Planets SNG promotion worth over $3 million each year.
But the best news of all is that not only can players from the United States and Canada play in this amazing series exclusive to PokerNews, they can also play in our monthly $15,000 Sunday Million Freeroll Series too. So that’s $19,000 in added value every month with the chance at turning your tickets into a life changing sum of money.
*If you can’t actually make the PCA, you can use your Step 4 ticket for any other equal Steps tournament or $215 MTT
