Amaya-owned PokerStars has revealed that it is to host the largest-ever buy-in online poker event in the history of internet gambling.
Due to begin on September 20, the 8-max Super High Roller event will form part of the 2015 World Championship of Online Poker and feature a buy-in of $51,000 (€47,100).
The buy-in for the upcoming event will be more than double the previous online poker record set by PokerStars’ sister company Full Tilt.
Professional poker player Daniel Negreanu said: “I think it makes sense that the world’s largest poker site is also the host of the largest buy-in online tournament.
“I’m excited to test my skills against the best of the best, online.”
