PCA 2016 To Be

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) , set to take place at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas on January 6, will feature 104 events spread across nine days.

Organizers have nearly tripled the number of tournaments compared to last year and have also decreased the amount of the Main Event to $5,300.

The festival kicks off with the $100k Super High Roller and satellites for PCA events will be offered on PokerStars starting in September.

PokerStars is still not available to players in the US. According to PokerUpdate , the world’s leading online poker site is “unwelcome in some states” as a result of violations of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
