PokerStars

Version
1.0
In the sea of online poker, PokerStars is truly the
leviathan. Entered in the Guinness Book of World
Records in 2007 for the most players simultaneously
playing online with an astounding 151,758 players,
these days you'll find well over 250,000 players
online at peak hours, completely dwarfing the
competition. A byproduct of this massive volume is an
enormous number of cash games and tournaments and
action at virtually every level 24/7.
Undoubtedly the poker Cinderella story of the century,
PokerStars is home to Chris Moneymaker, an unassuming
accountant from Tennessee who turned a $40 entry into
a PokerStars satellite tournament into a $2.4 million
victory at the 2003 World Series of Poker. This
victory truly changed the face of poker, attracting
millions of people to the game with the knowledge that
with a little skill and a lot of determination they
too can realize their dreams of limitless wealth and
glory.
