“One billion tournaments is just so sick! I’ve played thousands of PokerStars tournaments over the years, and I learned so much from them, it definitely was a huge part of my success,” said Team PokerStars Pro and the first-ever Supernova Elite Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, who has played 6,559 scheduled tournaments on PokerStars. “After all these years, I’m glad to see there are still huge prize pools and massive turnouts every day of the week on PokerStars. It really is the best place to play poker.”
The series will run from Nov. 17-30 and feature promotions for both multi- and single-table tournaments including Golden Sit & Gos, Daily Bigs, and Hot Turbos.
