PokerStars Team Pro Tuesdays
If you’d like a chance to play against world champions and other great players, you can now login to Pokerstars every Tuesday to find them at the tables. From now on, Tuesdays will find PokerStars Team Pro players scattered all over the site playing in hi-stakes and low-stakes tournaments & cash games. They’ll be at the tables between 12:00 – 15:00 ET and 19:00 – 22:00 ET. Although you can find pro players at most times of any day, this is when the concentration will be its highest.
2010 WSOP Champ Joe Cada and former WSOP Main Event champions such as Chris Moneymaker, Peter Eastgate, Greg ‘Fossilman’ Raymer & Joe Hachem are part of the team that you can play against. All you have to do is sign up at PokerStars.
Other PokerStars Team Pro players you can play against include Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein, Vanessa Rousso, Chad Brown, Bertrand Grospellier, Gavin Griffin, Dennis Phillips, Tom McEvoy, Hevad Khan, Alexander Kravchenko, Marcel Luske, Dario Minieri, Humberto Brenes, and plenty more. If you want to test your skills against some of the best players in the world, this is your chance to do it without breaking the bank. Railbirds can also chat with the pros without even playing.
PokerStars Outlast the Pro Tournaments
Every Tuesday until December 29th, PokerStars will be running two tournaments with just $11 buyins, starting at 13:00 ET and 20:00 ET. An extra $1000 will be added to the prize pool and split evenly amongst the players that outlast all of the PokerStars pros. For example, if the last pro busts out in 51st place, the remaining 50 players will collect $20 each – pretty cool.
To find the PokerStars Outlast the Pro Tournaments, click on ‘Tourney’, then ‘All’ in the PokerStars lobby. You’ll see them listed as ‘Team Pro Tuesday: Outlast the Pros’. Click on the listing to register.
Players start with 1500 chips, and the blinds go up every 10 minutes. These are freezeout tournaments, so there are no rebuys or add-ons.

There is a button located at the bottom of the PokerStars lobby that says ‘Team Pro’. Click on that button and a list of all the pro players currently playing will pop up. Click on any player to see what tables they’re at, then click on the table to view it.
