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.
