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.
