PokerStars Sunday Million News
November 24, 2007
PokerStars recently announced that they will be showing ALL hole cards during the final table replay of their famed Sunday Million tournament. Before the announcement, Stars management gave the final 9 players the option to either show or withhold their actual hole cards when it came to the broadcast. This is a big story because thousands of people view the Sunday Million webcasts, and most of the time when you watched it you would notice only a handful of players would show their actual cards during the the session. This is most likely because a lot of the more well-known players who would make the final table probably didn’t want to give to their competition any type of edge on how they play and where they pick certain spots to steal blinds or bluff at a particular pot. This announcement by Stars changes all of that, because it will now expose to the public how everyone is playing and what cards they’re using when doing so.
Stars has not returned an email by me as to why they have recently decided to change their stance on the hole card issue, but many can assume it may be because of the recent Absolute Poker scandal that went down a few weeks ago.
