Battle The Pros In PokerStars All Star Week
On March 23rd (this coming Monday), Poker Stars is kicking off their inaugural All Star Week. A tightly-selected group of All Star Challengers will take on Team PokerStars Pro, a syndicate including pros such as Daniel Negreanu, Chris Moneymaker, and Greg Raymer. The Challengers and Team Pro will face off in a series of heads-up matches.

How PokerStars Selected The Challengers
There are 5 ways to make it onto the All Star Challengers team…
1. Win a Sunday Million Tourney in 2008.
2. Reach a WCOOP final table in 2008.
3. Make it to Supernova Elite status in the PokerStars VIP Club.
4. Hit a top rank in the Yearly Tournament Leader Board.
5. Qualify as a wildcard with an $11 buy-in.
Poker Stars held 5 preliminary tournaments this past Sunday to whittle the number down to 5 Challengers. Those 5 players are scheduled to hit the tables in 35 heads-up matches between March 23rd and March 29th (5 matches per day).
Each match has a $1,000 prize attached. For every heads-up that Team PokerStars Pro wins, $1,000 goes to a charity of Victor Ramdin’s choosing (Ramdin is the team Captain). For each match that the All Star Challengers win, $1,000 goes into a prize pool they’ll split at the end.
Here’s where you come in. When you join Poker Stars.com (use bonus code “stars50“), you can get a piece of the action.
How You Can Get In On The Action
On April 5th, beginning at 4:00 p.m. EST, PokerStars.com is holding two All Star Week fan tournaments. The buy-in for each is 100 Frequent Player Points. Here’s how it works:
First, choose which team you’re rooting for: the All Star Challengers or Team PokerStars Pro. Then, visit the Lobby in your Poker Stars software. Click “Tourney” and then click “Special” to register. You can only choose 1 tournament; you can’t participate in both.
Each time a player from your chosen team wins a heads up match during All Star Week, $1,000 is added to your tournament’s prize pool. Win your tournament and you’ll share in the spoils.
It’s not too late to visit PokerStars.com and join the fun. If you don’t have an account yet, use bonus code “stars50” to get your 100% match up to $50.
We have a feeling that All Star Week is going to be a phenomenal hit.
