PokerStars has rolled out a major update to its Power Path qualification system, introducing a brand-new $530 Bronze Power Pass as part of a restructure designed to smooth out progression between buy-in levels.
The changes, which came into effect on April 27, leave the upper echelons of Power Path unchanged with the $10,300 Gold Pass and $2,500 Silver Pass both remaining in place, while the main adjustments come further down the ladder, where PokerStars has reshaped its Bronze tier and added a new entry point for lower-stakes players.
Giorgio Calligaris was eliminated in third place for a payout of €93,750, but for a total of €107,750 with his bounties.
Gheorghe Bilea was eliminated in fourth place for a payout of €72,120, collecting a total of €89,120 with his bounties.
