Play poker against Boris Becker in the Bahamas!
Tennis legend Boris Becker is back - and poker is his new game! To celebrate Boris becoming a member of the PokerStars team, we are giving you the chance to meet Boris and play against the man himself in a heads-up Battleship match! What’s more, you’ll be playing Boris in the beautiful surroundings of the Bahamas, for a seat at the 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
All you need to do to get started is enter any of our daily Freerolls and FPP qualifiers, and make it to one of the Weekly Finals. See below for more information on how to enter.
The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (January 5-10, 2009) is one of the biggest live poker events of the year. Last year’s winner, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, walked away with $2,000,000 in prize money. Make it to the Bahamas with our Battle with Boris tournaments and you could be the next big winner!
