Die Spatzen beziehungsweise die Red Spades haben es bereits von den Dächern gepfiffen. PokerStars kehrt mit einer Live Turnierserie in die USA zurück. Nun ist die Katze aus dem Sack. Beim PokerStars Festival New Jersey 2016 gibt es zwischen dem 29. Oktober und 6. November insgesamt 40 Turniere.
Mit dem Black Friday wurde auch das Ende der North American Poker Tour besiegelt. Da PokerStars mittlerweile eine Online Poker-Lizenz in New Jersey hält, hat man jedoch schon ein Bein auf dem Markt und so wunderte es wenig, als vergangene Woche einige Mitglieder des Team PokerStars Pros eine Turnierserie in New Jersey ankündigten.
Mit dem Ende der European Poker Tour wurde heute in Barcelona ein neues Zeitalter eingeleitet. So wird es anstelle einer ganze Palette von Turnierserien, nur noch PokerStars Championships und PokerStars Festivals geben.
Den Auftakt macht das PokerStars Festival New Jersey 2016 im Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. 40 Events mit Buy-Ins zwischen $100 und $5.000 bieten reichlich Auswahl und man wird sich via PokerStars.nj für ausgewählte Turniere qualifizieren können.
Zu den Highlights zählen der $330 PokerStars Cup (30. – 31. Okt), das $1.100 PokerStars Festival Main Event (1. – 5. Nov), das $2.200 PokerStars Festival National High Roller (4. – 5. Nov) sowie die $220 PokerStars Open (4. – 6. Nov).
Natürlich wird es wieder ein üppiges Rahmenprogramm geben. Zu den StarsFun-Aktivitäten gehören unter anderem Minigolf Hole-in-one Progressive, Hoops Fever Progressive und Pinball Progressive, wobei es hier Preise zu gewinnen gibt.
