Don't Miss Out on the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Jan. 6-18
There might be no better way to bring in the new year than by heading to the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the sunny Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) on Jan. 6-14, 2018.
The schedule features 31 action-packed tournaments highlighted by the six-day $10,300 PCA Main Event. The tournament kicks off with two opening flights on Jan. 8-9 with players starting off with 30,000 in chips and 60-minute blind levels before they increase to 90 minutes later in the tournament.
There are still satellites and sub-satellites starting at $5.50 running at PokerStars for a Main Event package valued at $14,450, which includes a Main Event ticket, hotel accommodations at the luxurious resort, $1,000 cash folio, access to the player's party and more.
Other Attractions
Outside of the Main Event, there are seven other tournaments with buy-ins of at least $10,000 and one six-figure buy-in tournament, the $100,000 PCA Super High Roller on Jan. 6-8, which is expected to attract the biggest names in poker.
The PCA isn't all about the high-rollers though, as the resort offers many amenities including many pools, spas, restaurants and much more to make it the perfect poker vacation for all.
The poker schedule also includes many tournaments with buy-ins affordable to just about anyone including the $330 PCA Cup on Jan. 12-14 and live satellites to bigger events starting at just $160. In addition, players that enter at least one PCA event will be invited to play for free money in the PCA $50,000 Freeroll on Jan. 14.
