PokerStars $500K gtd. Guinness record attempt - Dec. 28

PokerStars is attempting to set the record for the World's Largest Poker Tournament on Sun. Dec. 28 at 3:30pm ET (in place of the normal Sunday 200 Grand).

$10 +$1, $500K guaranteed, max. 35,000 players.
10-handed tables, 10-minute blinds.
Pays top 8,750 players! (ya, that's what I would call a big tourney)

I've already registered (and would suggest any interested forumers do the same) as Stars could get 35,000 players registered in advance for this one given that it is at least $150K value-added.

...and you can always brag to your friends that you are in the Guinness World Record book (without giving out too many specifics). :wink:

  • That is really cool
  • Interesting. Might as well play since I'll be playing the FTP 100K as well as the Turbo Takedown.

    Think you mean $150K overlay.. 10x35,000=$350K with $500K GTD...

    Me too.

    $10 Last longer anyone?
  • I registered as well, only issue for me is may have family Xmas thing that day which would force me to withdraw....
    That's a real flat payout though, like 25% of the field? 7000 get $12.?
  • 52.5 Million tournament chips in play. That's sweet.

    What the hell, I have that Monday off. I'll play.
  • You might need Tues too.
  • I think I will register for this as well.

    Everyone puts in $10, whoever "last longest" (aka last to be knocked out) wins the bet.
