THE WOMEN’S SUNDAY SECOND BIRTHDAY WITH A DOUBLE GUARANTEE
ONCHAN, ISLE OF MAN – March 18, 2013 –
The PokerStars Women?s Sunday tournament is celebrating its second
birthday this month with two special events on the weekend of March
23-24 that highlight the incredible value that PokerStars consistently
delivers and the inclusivity of the PokerStars community.
The first event is a live and interactive YouTube broadcast featuring
several female members of Team PokerStars, including Liv Boeree,
Fatima Moreira de Melo and Adrienne „talonchick? Rowsome,
which will take place on March 23 at 14.00 ET (18.00 GMT) and can

The second is the Women?s Sunday tournament itself, which will
have its guaranteed prize pool doubled to $20,000, along with $100
bounties (instead of the usual $50) for knocking out one of the
female Team Pros. The buy-in is $55 and the tournament will take
place on March 24 at 14.30 ET (18.30 GMT).
UK Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree said: “I'm really looking
forward to this special weekend. The double guarantee tournament
is great value and the YouTube Hangout is a really cool idea, which
will help build a sense of community among players. I can't wait
to talk about poker with anyone who joins the live stream.”
“I'm very excited about the Womens Sunday Anniversary tournament,”
added Celina Lin, from Team PokerStars Pro Asia. “I'm looking
forward to having a chat with everyone leading up to the big event.”
