PokerStars to give out Platinum Pass via Twitter

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Over the next month, PokerStars social media followers will have the chance to win a $30,000 Platinum Pass to the PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship (PSPC) in the Bahamas in 2019 via a series of "Truth or Bluff" Twitter competitions, which lead to a special freeroll on 4 March.

Truth or Bluff Twitter series videos will be posted every Tuesday on PokerStars Twitter channels with the video action pausing partway through. At that point, viewers will decide whether the Team PokerStars Pro is bluffing or telling the truth and submit their answers by replying to the video tweet with "Truth" or "Bluff" and using the hashtag #PlatinumPass and their Stars ID.

The first video, which has received more than 25,000 views so far, was posted on PokerStars Twitter channels yesterday. Anyone who replies to the tweet will also receive free entry into a special "PSPC Twitter Giveaway Freeroll" and receive a 2,000 starting stack. Those who answer two, three or four questions correctly across the four-week competition will add ammunition to their starting stack, reaching 5,000/10,000/20,000, respectively. The "PSPC Twitter Giveaway Freeroll" takes place on 4 March at 7 p.m. and will give away one Platinum Pass, plus around $5,000 in Sunday tournament tickets.

There is also a Facebook version of the competition in which entrants will have the chance to win a PSPC hat signed by Daniel Negreanu, as well as other merchandise.

So far, 23 Platinum Passes to the PSPC have been awarded via a variety of online and live routes.
