PokerStars continues to promote to its United States-based players the upcoming PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC), which will be held in Nassau, Bahamas, in January 2023. Just weeks after announcing a major Platinum Pass giveaway, in which 40 seats to the PSPC main event will go to American players, PokerStars has revealed that at least six more Platinum Passes will go to winners of leaderboard races held during September of 2022.
The special six-seat giveaway will involve players from all three U.S.-regulated states where PokerStars is currently available -- Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The giveaway will be based on finishes in PokerStars' COOP (Championship of Online Poker), which will run separately in each of the three states, from September 9 through September 26.
The top finishers from each state on two special leaderboards tracking each of the three states' COOP results will automatically win Platinum Passes, which include the $25,000 PSPC main-event entry, travel, lodging, and more, and are valued at $30,000 each.
While winning one of the COOP leaderboards guarantees a seat, however, it's not the only way to snag a seat. The top 1,000 leaderboard winners will receive invites to a September 27 freeroll in which more Platinum Passes will be awarded. The 1,000 invitees will include 500 players from Pennsylvania, 300 from Michigan, and 200 more from New Jersey.
