Live Webcast of 2013 GuangDong Asia Millions in Macau Online
MACAU, CHINA – PokerStars is set to host an online broadcast of the massive HKD $1,000,000 (USD $129k) ‘GuangDong Ltd Asia Millions’ (GDAM) Main Event from June 5-7, 2013. This continues the incredibly popular webcast coverage that was provided during the recent ninth season of the European Poker Tour, and will be available online at www.pokerstars.tv.
Guangdong Group (Macau) has already confirmed more than 70 players have registered for the tournament that takes place at the ‘PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams’ poker room in Macau, China.
The GDAM is expected to be the biggest poker tournament ever held outside of the World Series of Poker in terms of prize pool, and the largest ever high-roller event by number of players. The potential for an unprecedented 100-plus High Rollers field has attracted some of the biggest names in poker, including Full Tilt Poker’s Gus Hansen and Team PokerStars’ Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, Isaac Haxton, Celina Lin and Jonathan Duhamel.
The webcast will be hosted by EPT regulars Joe Stapleton and James Hartigan.
“The GDAM event is loaded with big interest, huge names and massive prize money! We are excited about taking the webcast on the road to Macau to broadcast this special event,” said Joe Stapleton.
“Not only will our viewers see all the high-roller action from the felt, but we will also be giving viewers a chance to win a prize package, including entry to an event at the 2013 Asia Championship of Poker,” said James Hartigan.
EXCLUSIVE DAILY WEBCAST FREEROLLS
During the webcast on June 5, viewers will have an exclusive opportunity to get a password to participate in exciting freerolls on PokerStars. There will be various prizes awarded throughout the three-day broadcast. The prizes include entry to a Warm-Up tournament at the 2013 Asia Championship of Poker, valued at HKD $25,000. This will take place in October 2013 and include five nights’ accommodation at the Hard Rock Hotel @ City of Dreams, Macau, USD $500 travel cash, and two tickets to The House of Dancing Water.
