The PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC) and PCA are now just a few days away, but the operator is still on a mission to give out a few more Platinum Passes.

Vanessa Kade, a professional poker player and streamer, became one of the benefactors of these efforts, receiving a surprise message from the PokerStars support a couple of days ago.

Kade was thrilled when she got the news (as any poker player would be) and decided to spread the joy with her followers, pledging to give away a portion of her future winnings.

The announcement was followed by numerous messages wishing Kade good luck and praising her decision to give up a part of her potential profits in favor of her followers and the charity organization.

The PCA 2023 is set to kick off on Jan 22 in the sunny Bahamas and the event will gather the best players, poker vloggers, ambassadors, and other high-profile individuals from the poker world in one place, making it a proper treat for all fans of the game.

All recreational players and low-stakes grinders in Ontario have a lot to look forward to over the next few weeks, as WSOP Ontario has launched the mini Million$ series. Featuring affordable buy-ins, generous guarantees, and dozens of tournaments, the series aims to make poker fun again.

Most buy-ins are between $5 and $25, and there are satellites running around the clock to win tournament entries at an even lower price.

Despite small buy-ins, WSOP Ontario did not hold back on guarantees, as the $10.50 Main Event offers CAD $100,000 in prizes and the top Mystery Bounty of $10,000.

There is also the $5 Mini Ontario Million$ event, offering $25,000, with multiple Day 1 flights running each day until Jan 22. On Sundays, you can get involved with $25 Sunday Ten Grand and fight for a share of a $10,000 prize pool.

Tournaments feature different structures and formats, so there is something for everyone, and with such low buy-ins, mini Million$ is truly a tournament series for all players. Sign up for your WSOP Ontario account to join the hot red action running until Feb 6.

The PCA and PSPC 2023 are just around the corner, and PokerStars US is on a mission to give away another Platinum Pass to one lucky winner.

For the past few days, PokerStars US has been running a free competition where players only had to register via their Discord server to enter the fray. The registration period ended yesterday, and today is the big day for everyone who threw their hats into the mix.

Namely, PokerStars will be sending direct Discord messages to all participants for the next few hours with a link to the questionnaire. The first 50 to fill in the questionnaire will get invited to the special episode of the Poker in the Ears Podcast on Jan 18.

During this podcast, one lucky participant will be selected at random to answer a quick trivia question and, provided they give the correct answer, awarded a Platinum Pass for the 2023 PSPC in the Bahamas.

So, if you’ve entered the competition, keep your eyes peeled for Discord messages this morning and be quick on the trigger to ensure you’re one of the first 50 players to fill in the questionnaire and get an invitation to the Jan 18 Poker in the Ears Podcast!
