MACAU, China -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerStars Macau at the Grand Waldo Entertainment Complex is hosting the highly anticipated Macau Poker Cup: Red Dragon from June 9-18 featuring the HKD $3,000,000 Guaranteed Red Dragon main event.

Today, Danny McDonagh, PokerStars’ Director of Live Poker Operations for the Asia-Pacific, stated that the proposed special events following the June Macau Poker Cup will not take place as previously announced.
