The Wait Is Finally Over...The Second-Ever PSPC Kicks Off Today at 12 p.m. ET
After four long years, the wait is finally over as the 2023 PokerStars Players No Limit Hold'Em Championship (PSPC) gets underway today at the Baha Mar Resort at 12 p.m. ET.
Players from each corner of the globe have made the trip to Nassau, The Bahamas to try and emulate the success of PokerStars Ambassador Ramon Colillas, who took down the inaugural PSPC back in 2019 for a life-changing payday of $5.1 million.
Colillas, who entered the first edition of the PSPC after bagging a coveted Platinum Pass, topped the record-breaking 1,039-player field to etch his name in poker's history books.
Often, a $25K buy-in event is reserved for poker's high rollers, but with over 400 Platinum Pass winners attending, there will be huge diversity within the playing field. Several players will be living the dream in what is a once-in-a-lifetime event for some.
Another reason why the PSPC is so extraordinary is that it is one of the few major events that operates as a freezeout. The playing field will be levelled out regardless of bankroll size and will undoubtedly create some moments that will be remembered for years to come.
The PSPC lasts for five days and only has one Day 1 flight, however, late registration is open until the start of Day 2. Those who enter the PSPC will receive a starting stack of 60,000 and will need to navigate the opening eight levels to bag and tag for Day 2. As mentioned, players will only be permitted one entry, and if they bust they will need to watch the tournament play out from the sidelines.
And while there is no guarantee for the PSPC, more than $14 million already sits in the prize pool. Payouts will be confirmed on Day 2 but it is already expected that the first-place prize will again be around the $5 million mark.

PokerNews spoke with PokerStars presenter and commentator James Hartigan, who said that he was "incredibly excited" to be heading back to the Caribbean.
"There are so many people who are effectively freerolling in a $25,000 buy-in tournament! They might never have dreamt of playing in a live event anywhere near that buy-in, but they've been given this amazing opportunity through PokerStars."
