PokerStars Invites Your to Enter The Shark Cage

PokerStars has created a brand new television show that invites qualifiers to enter the Shark Cage with 1M on the line…

THE STORMY WATERS OF THE BAHAMAS

PCA logoEarlier today, PokerStars introduced a new TV show – The Shark Cage – where players will qualify in online tournaments and play for the chance at winning a winner-take-all million dollar top prize!

A total of eight heats will be filmed during EPT events at Paradise Island (2 heats), in Monte Carlo (4 heats) and in Barcelona (2 heats). The final event will be presented at EPT London next year. The first two heats will take place in the Bahamas during the PCA in early January. Each qualifier will face five of poker’s biggest names for a chance at qualifying for the London finale.

Those that wish to make it the Bahamas in a few weeks will first need to earn tickets to qualifying tournaments on PokerStars. Then, qualifying players will need to submit a video and upload it to YouTube. The PokerStars team will then judge all videos and contact the top qualifiers for a telephone interview before finally introducing the lucky PCA qualifiers on December 17, 2013.

NOT YOUR FATHER’S TV POKER

Not only are PokerStars looking for an fun table full of chatter, they will also introduce new fun rules to its qualifying heats including: Play Against the Clock (players will be given 30 seconds to act), Don’t Get Bluffed (rewarding and penalizing players for successful and unsuccessful river bluffs) and No Deals (winner-take-all events with NO DEALS allowed).

Qualifying tournaments kickoff today!
