Team Pro Tuesdays
PokerStars (www.pokerstars.com) wants to give online poker players the unique experience of playing with some of the biggest names in poker, thanks to its current “Team Pro Tuesdays” promotion.
Every Tuesday until Dec. 29, players can log onto PokerStars.net and play against some of the most famous names in poker. Players might simply watch the stars play, chat with them from the rail or buy-in to play against them. Some of the big names that might be around the virtual table include Joe Cada, Chris Moneymaker, Peter Eastgate, Daniel Negreanu, and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier.
These players regularly play at PokerStars, but with Team Pro Tuesdays, there’s a greater likelihood players will run into them online.
While players can have fun chatting with and watching the pros play, they can also play against them, or play “Outlast the Pros”, where players can win cash by lasting longer in a game than the pros. “Outlast the Pros” tournaments will run twice on Tuesdays, one beginning at 1 p.m. ET, and the other at 10 p.m. ET. Each tournaments buy-in is $11, with another $1,000 added to the prize pot.
If online players can stay in the “Outlast the Pros” tournament longer than all the pros, the winner will get to split the cash with all the other players still in the tournament.
