In 2008 the main event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure awarded $3 million to Canadian player Poorya Nazari for defeating a field that had 1,347 players. Nazari won the biggest prize in a live tournament event with the exception of the WSOP main event.
PokerStars will have free satellite events that will start today at midnight. Two tournaments will run each hour at the 20 and 40 minute mark past the hour. The first tournament is completely free and the second one is only $1.10.
