On December 27th, Pokerstars broke their own world record of most players in a single real money tournament. It was a $1 tournament that registered an astounding 149,196 players and featured a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament offered a $50,000 top prize, and a $150,000 overlay!

With 5 minute blind levels, the tournament moved along in quick fashion. Start to end only took about 6 hours, with oskar69 taking down the win. Wouldn’t it be fun to tell your friends that you won a tournament that had almost 150,000 players in it?

All of the final table players made at least $3000, with 2nd-4th worth $30,000, $20,000 and $10,000 respectively. Not bad for a buck.

Making the money in this tournament was pretty simple for anyone that made a couple of hands along the way. The top 30,000 players made the money, meaning 1 in 5 players. Players were busting so fast that all players just needed to get paid off on a couple of nice hands, and otherwise a sit tight. Anyone making the money got a minimum of $2.22. While $2.22 is nothing to get excited about, players more than doubled their buy-in at one of the easiest tournaments ever.

The old world record was also held by Pokerstars, but this one clobbered it in terms of player count. The old record was 65,000, set back in July.

If you don’t already have an account at Pokerstars, what are you waiting for? Could a site generate 149,000 + players for a single tournament if they weren’t huge? Pokerstars is the largest online poker site for a reason, and every player should have an account there. No other site can compare to Pokerstars when it comes to tournaments, player traffic, or promotions. Pokerstars just plain works harder than every other room, and players are kept happy at this site. You can also use our marketing code for Pokerstars to get a $600 bonus when you sign up.
