PokerStars breaks another record

by isleofman.com 4th January 2010

An Isle of Man-based online poker company says it's smashed its own record for the largest virtual poker tournament ever held.

PokerStars.com broke the world record last week when 149,196 players paid for the opportunity to compete for a $50,000 top prize.

The previous record was 65,000 players, set by PokerStars.com in July last year.

The company says the event took just under six hours to complete and was sanctioned by the Guinness Book of World Records.
