PokerStars 'Choose a Champion' – Right Now!

November 09 2008, PokerNews Staff

With the next world champion of poker about to be determined as today's final table begins in Las Vegas, PokerStars is inviting you to "Choose a Champion" yourself! PokerStars will run six special tournaments today – one for each of the Stars-sponsored players who began play in today's final. Each of the six NLHE tournaments is a very affordable $10+1 to enter, and each offers a bit of extra money from PokerStars as well.

Here are the six special tournaments, scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM ET, so you have to be quick to enter!

T# 118952034 - Choose a champion - Dennis Phillips
T# 118952952 - Choose a champion - Ivan Demidov
T# 118953136 - Choose a champion - Peter Eastgate
T# 118953300 - Choose a champion - Ylon Schwartz
T# 118953563 - Choose a champion - Darus Suharto
T# 118953769 - Choose a champion - David Rheem

If your selected champion wins the Main Event, the final table associated with that player will receive an extra $250. Each of the other final tables receives an extra $50. But choose carefully – each Stars player can only play in one "Choose a Champion" tournament, and once registered, you cannot unregister.

Then, on Monday, there's a special "Be Our Champion!" tournament as well. That's also a $10+1 event with a player cap set at 1,024 entrants. It's set to start at 9:30p.m. ET, about when heads-up play is scheduled to begin in Las Vegas. PokerStars will be adding an extra $1,000 to the prize pool, so don't be late… spots are indeed limited. It's listed as Tourney # 118954339.

Each of the special events can be found under the "Tourney" and "Private" tabs in the PokerStars lobby.
