Live tournament action has kept up momentum this month, and is gearing up for exciting runs and important events in the coming months.

At PokerStars, it’s been an eventful few months with the gaming giant announcing various new and unique ways to award the coveted $30,000 Platinum Passes to the much-anticipated PokerStars Players NLHE Championship (PSPC) that is to be held in the Bahamas in 2019. Part of the PSPC story has been the Moneymaker Tour that is running across different stops in the U.S since August 4 and is now scheduled to culminate at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker (November 9-11). Prior to this, a new stop, at the Winstar World Casino and Resort was added to the tour.

Meanwhile, the World Poker Tour (WPT) has attractive offers up its sleeve. The WPT has partnered with The Gardens Casino to launch the WPT Satellite Spectacular for Season XVII WPT Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic.

Coming back to PokerStars, the online poker giant has finally made its new line of merchandise completely available on the web. The new PokerStars web store includes the co-branded offerings by PokerStars and Hugo Boss.

Moneymaker Tour Heading to Winstar, Will Culminate at SHR

Close on the heels of announcing the grand finale of the Moneymaker PokerStars Players Championships (PSPC) Tour at Hollywood-located Seminole Hard Rock, PokerStars has announced yet another stop. Winstar World Casino and Resort, the largest casino in the U.S will be hosting a special Moneymaker tour $86 buy-in event from November 2-4.

The event features re-entries for a few levels and a regular tournament payout structure, with a glittering PSPC Platinum Pass up for grabs. There will be two starting flights and the finale will be held on November 4. Day 1B of the event coincides with the day Christina Aguilera is slated to perform at the WinStar.

Following the Winstar stop will be the finale at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino that was also added to the Moneymaker PSPC Tour only recently. Prior to this, the Moneymaker Tour was to culminate at the Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona.

At the Seminole Hard Rock, the $86 buy-in event will kick off on November 9. There are two opening flights and survivors from both flights will converge on Day 2 scheduled for November 11, to play down to the winner who will receive a Platinum Pass, in addition to the prize money.

The Moneymaker PSPC Tour has been an inherent part of PokerStars’ annual schedule of events leading up to the PSPC. As part of the tour, $86 buy-in NLHE events have been hosted across various venues in the U.S, starting from the Stones Gambling Gall in Sacramento, California, on August 4. Apart from the prize money, the winners at each of these events have pocketed a prized Platinum Pass to the PSPC.

Now, the Moneymaker Tour is fast edging towards conclusion, with announced plans to culminate at Seminole Hard Rock Casino, right as another stop has been added, at the Winstar World Casino and Resort.

The tour will certainly have a grand closure, with the $86 NLHE event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, to be followed by a Charity Tournament on November 13. The charity event is being co-organized by the Hard Rock and PokerStars with the proceeds of the tournament going towards the support charitable organization – Feeding South Florida.

Adding to the attraction, PokerStars has announced that players who participate in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open at the Hard Rock from November 14-27 will automatically see their names entered in a lucky draw that will give out one Platinum Pass to a lucky winner.

Notably, the Moneymaker PSPC Tour is currently underway at the Live! Casino and hotel in Baltimore, Maryland and will next move to Run It Up Reno in Nevada for a one-day event on October 23, followed by the Talking Stick in Scottsdale from October 31 – November 2.
