A trio of PokerStars Platinum Passes on the line
The competition for a pass begins on Aug. 17 with a €3,000 EPT Platinum Pass Mystery Bounty. One lucky player will take home a Platinum Pass as the ultimate bounty prize. Bounties begin on Day 2, with the event running until Aug. 19.
A second Platinum Pass is awarded as a continuation of PokerStars’ International Women’s Day activities, which began in 2020. As part of the promotion, inspirational female poker players from around the world or those who’ve made an impact on the community were nominated to win a Platinum Pass.
Following the nominations, eight finalists were to head to Barcelona to play live for the pass. When the event was canceled due to the COVID pandemic, that was delayed. The battle for the pass now takes place on Aug. 15.
The winner of the event takes home a pass. Stars is also making the tournament available for players around the world to check out. The company will stream the action live across its social media channels including Twitch.
