PokerStars is running a Team Pro Online Week, that includes promotions to win free PCA packages worth $15,000, the opportunity to become a Team Online pro, and an exclusive Micro-Stakes Zoom Poker Challenge, as well as the Red Spade Open, a $55 tournament with $1 million guaranteed and juicy bounties on Team PokerStars players.
If you are a Supernova or Supernova Elite VIP on PokerStars, you have the opportunity to apply to join Team Pro Online. E-mails with the details have been sent out, in case you didn't receive one, contact vipclub@pokerstars.eu [3]. Anyone who sends in an application before 23:59 ET, Saturday 25, can win a PCA package.
In case you are not a Supernova/Supernova Elite, there are still two ways with which you can win PokerStars Caribbean Adventure packages.
One option is to deposit at least $10 using the bonus code "ONLINE2014" between October 16 10:00 ET and 14:00 ET on October 25. For this, you will get two tickets to exclusive Team Pro Online Bounty Tournaments, each with $20,000 in added prize money. If you bust a Team Pro Online member during the tournament you will receive $50, the tournaments will take place on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26 at 14:00 ET.
The winner of each of the two tournaments will get the opportunity to play the four Team Pro Online members in an exclusive heads-up challenge on Monday, October 27, for their chance to win a PCA package.
The other way you can win a PCA package requires no playing at all. From October 20 - 24, members of Team Pro Online will hold Twitter contests, with each member giving away a ticket to a unique 22-player tournament on Sunday, October 26, at 14:00 ET. If you finish in the top two spots of the tournament, you will have the chance to take part in the Team Pro Online heads-up challenges on October 27 and battle for the PCA package.
Players of the tournament who don't finish in the top two will receive $50, if you want to find out more details about each contest, follow PSTO on Twitter.
Players who are more interested in cash games also have the chance to win some money, each Team Pro Online member will play a one-hour Zoom Poker session at special $0.02/$0.04 tables. If you show profit versus a Team Pro Online member, that profit will be multiplied by 7 as a cash reward. These special tables are only open for one hour at a time, if you want to find out when a Team Pro Online will be playing, follow the @psteamonline account on twitter.
PokerStars is also hosting this year's edition of the Red Spade Open on Sunday, October 26, at 15:00 ET. The Red Spade Open features a $55 buyin, a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with at least $100,000 guaranteed to the winner, and $250 bounties on all Team PokerStars Pro and Team Pro Online members.
If you knock out Ike "luvtheWNBA" Haxton you also get the chance to play the heads-up specalist in a $1,000 heads-up freeroll, so playing with the Pros this week is great value for both tournament and cash game players.
