From June 3 -13 , PokerStars will
host the €5 million guaranteed online Trio Series, which will
feature 78 events including the €250 Main Event with a €500,000
guarantee. There will be a host of promotions including Main Event
depositor freerolls, Second Chance freerolls, daily freerolls
giving away €3 and €10 satellite and Series tickets, as well as
€2.50 Spin & Go's in France.
Buy-ins for the Series start from as little as €1. Portuguese
players will also be able to enjoy a revamped daily and Sunday
tournament schedule.
"We have worked hard to become the first operator to bring the
benefits of shared liquidity to Portugal. Our players will see a huge increase
in the variety and scale of our tournaments and promotions and
will enjoy more excitement, more competition and more fun!" said
Guy Templer, Chief Operating Officer
of The Stars Group. "This dramatically strengthens our offering and
demonstrates our commitment to the Portuguese market. We look
forward to working with the Portuguese regulator to further improve
the poker product offering for Portuguese players, and additionally
hope that Italy will soon progress
so that their players can also enjoy the significantly better
experience that shared liquidity brings."
The Trio Series follows on from France and Spain's very own Spring Championship of Online
Poker (SCOOP), which surpassed its record breaking €10 million
guarantee to reach €11,768,035, and the successful FRESH (France
Espania Hold'em) Series for French and Spanish players. FRESH saw
more than 30,000 unique entries across 50 scheduled events,
creating a total prize pool of €6,149,751, exceeding the €5 million
prize pool guarantee.
In January 2018, PokerStars was
the first poker operator to enable players from France and Spain to play together online.
