This entry will take a look at some recent promos recently introduced by the PokerStars marketing code.

PokerStars has really taken advantage of their most recent WSOP champion. Their latest promotion involving Jonathan Duhamel is targeted at Canadians, inviting them to play on PokerStars for the chance to win an EPT prize package. This package includes everything needed for a trip to Europe: $1k spending money, airfare for two, and hotel accommodations for four nights. The poker incentives include a seat in the Main Event of EPT Deauville and dinner with Duhamel himself.

For the chance to win this amazing trip, you must download free poker and get into the Grand Final of the Canadian Celebration. This can be done by playing freerolls, satellites for $2.20, and 500 FPP satellites. You will need to fight your way to the top of the Grand Final to win the prize package.

If you are interested in tournaments but you are not Canadian, how about qualifying for the PCA instead? PokerStars has found a way to combine fishing and poker to make one big tournament! You can either enter satellites or buy-in directly to the Fish & Chips Showdown.

There aren’t any online poker rooms that have a tournament like this one. The Fish & Chips Showdown runs over two days, allowing one day for fishing and two days for poker. Fishing starts early on January 6th and players have a little over 5 hours to catch the best fish they can find. Points are awarded depending on weight and how the fish is caught.

There is a poker tournament during the second half of this day. Day 1 ends once the field has been reduced to the final table, a common practice in casinos for USA players. Day 2 sees the final table continue on, and higher finishes receive higher points. The winner of the entire event is determined by combining the points from fishing with the points from poker.
