Key Takeaways
  • A total of 3163 entries (including 262 re-entries) registered for Sunday’s tournament, building a prize pool of $1,581,500.
  • With well over $3 million in guaranteed prize packages, this year’s “Road to Bahamas” was billed as“one of the largest PokerStars Live qualifying offers in company history.”
  • Once the undisputed champion of big-ticket live poker tournaments in Europe and beyond, the operator is facing increased pressure from other operators.

The second of two “Road to Bahamas” ultra-satellites, each one guaranteeing 100 packages to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) on January 8, ran on Sunday with a strong turnout of almost 3000 players, falling just shy of covering the ambitious guarantee.
