With the approach of Christmas festivities it was expected that PokerStars would please its users with some of the best promos. And now you have the chance to get an invitation and play a $5 buy-in tourney with a whooping $20,000 prize pool.
Wait, $20,000 guaranteed? For just $5? Exactly! To earn your invitation, you only need to answer a quiz prepared by PokerStars staff, which contains 12 simple questions about PokerStars events in 2009. If you answer all questions correctly, you'll earn an invitation to the tournament. If you don't know some of the answers, a quick look at the comments of this newspost will help you out. You can finish the quiz until December 17, so make sure you don't let this opportunity pass!
In order to answer the quiz, open PokerStars' lobby and check if the news box pop up when you log in. In case it doesn't, click on Help > My news. You'll find the link to the quiz over there, good luck!
Team Pro Tuesdays
What do Joe Cada, Peter Eastgate, Daniel Negreanu and Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier all have in common? They are part of Team PokerStars Pro, one of the most prestigious poker groups in the poker scene.
PokerStars is now using its Pro team as a way to entertain its users, by giving them the opportunity to play against famous players they usually watch on TV. On each Tuesday, PokerStars clients can log in and have the likes of Elky and Negreanu on their table. The pros will play every kind of game and stakes, so it doesn't matter if you only play cash games or tournaments, Hold'em or Omaha, micro or high stakes, you still have the chance to meet one of these guys on your table.
Team Pro Tuesdays will happen, as mentioned above, on every Tuesday, in two separate time blocks. From 12h00 to 15h00 and from 19h00 to 22h00 ET. In order to know which pro players are online, just click on the "Team Pro" button at the bottom of the lobby.
In case you don't have a PokerStars account, create it right away using STARS600 as a bonus code and enjoy a 100% first deposit bonus up to $600!

I don't think this is a free $5... When you go to the lobby and find this special 'Quiz Tournament', if you try to register it says $5 + Ticket. |
