The special tourney is scheduled for 3:30 pm ET on December 28, 2008, and it can be found under the "Tournament" and "Special" tabs once the software has been downloaded. The tournament will be capped at 35 000 players, setting a maximum for the record, carries a $10+1 entry fee, and will offer a $500 000 guaranteed purse... with lots of scope for overlay for the event.

(The current attempt will update an earlier record set by PokerStars in August 2007 in which 20 000 players turned out for a guaranteed $100 000 cash tourney).

Welcome:
PokerStars is now home to the largest tournament in history thanks to Sunday's record-breaking no-limit hold'em contest. The tournament was the culmination of their World Record Weekend promotion and saw an astounding 35,000 entrants put up the $10+$1 buy-in to be a part of history. If that wasn't enough, PokerStars was kind enough to offer up a $150,000 overlay to reward its loyal players.

The record itself was never in question. Registration had been open for weeks and every seat was sold out days before the action even began.

The increased traffic spread through all areas of the site and PokerStars was able to boast a high of 250,540 players, occupying 33,582 tables, setting another record for the most players simultaneously logged on at one time.
