Hang out with Team PokerStars pros and celebrate Women's Sunday second birthday

ONCHAN, Isle of Man -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The PokerStars Women’s Sunday tournament is celebrating its second birthday this month with two special events on the weekend of March 23-24 that highlight the incredible value that PokerStars consistently delivers and the inclusivity of the PokerStars community.

The first event is a live and interactive YouTube broadcast featuring several female members of Team PokerStars, including Liv Boeree, Fatima Moreira de Melo and Adrienne "talonchick" Rowsome, which will take place on March 23 at 14.00 ET (18.00 GMT) and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/Pokerstars.

The second is the Women’s Sunday tournament itself, which will have its guaranteed prize pool doubled to $20,000, along with $100 bounties (instead of the usual $50) for knocking out one of the female Team Pros. The buy-in is $55 and the tournament will take place on March 24 at 14.30 ET (18.30 GMT).

U.K. Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree said: “I’m really looking forward to this special weekend.

I can’t wait to talk about poker with anyone who joins the live stream.”
