POKERSTARS LAUNCH NEW DAILY FREEROLL FROM 22ND JANUARY

January 20th 2010 - PokerStars.com, the world’s largest online poker site, has announced a new free to enter Daily Freeroll tournament for UK and Ireland players where they will be adding £2,000 to the prize pool each day.

The new £2,000 Giveaway  tournament will start on the 22nd January 2010 and will run for six weeks and will be heavily advertised on TV, online and press.

This Daily Freeroll tournament will take place every evening at 9.30pm GMT and players will also be able to re-buy for $50c and if players miss the 9.30pm tournament then they can always take advantage of another Freeroll for £250 at 10.30pm.

Emma Crowe, Regional Marketing Director for PokerStars comments: “The cold, dark nights of January and February are traditionally the most popular months of the year for online poker play and we feel that the new Daily Freeroll will appeal to a wide range of poker players. By adding £2,000 to the prize pool everyday for six weeks PokerStars are once again showing their commitment to rewarding players who use the world’s largest poker site.”

The announcement comes on the back of PokerStars launch of the new UK and Ireland Poker Tour which began in Galway back in December 2009 and makes its way across the Irish Sea to Manchester on February 11th – 14th.
