Current record to be broken - 149,196 players in action at once
It has been announced by online poker giant PokerStars that it is to attempt to take down its own Guinness Book of Records benchmark of 149,196 players in action at once.
The record attempt will take place on Dec. 4, and it will be accompanied by a number of promotions and a special live broadcast by Pokerstars Radio, whose program will begin some 30 minutes before the record-breaking action, at 17h00 GMT.
The broadcast will involve poker presenters Nick Wealthall and Joe Stapleton, and its program will feature a mix of call-ins from the poker world's elite players, studio banter from the hosts, and promotions and competitions.
The tournament titled the $1 World Record Tournament has a goal to turn into the biggest online poker tournament ever. It features a $250,000 guarantee prize pool and a cap of 200,000 players, the best of which will earn a guaranteed first prize of $50,000. The tourney also includes $10 bounties on the heads of all Team PokerStars players who take part in the tournament.
