Pokerstars

Pokerstars, the world’s largest online poker room ever, envisioned being one of the best online poker rooms in 2001, but no one could have ever imagined that Pokerstars would have become the super elite empire of online poker as it is today. When the no named online poker player, Chris Moneymaker, won a satellite tournament at Pokerstars for an entry into the World Series Of Poker Main Event in 2003, Chris shocked the world. Chris went on to win the main event championship and really brought world wide attention to the online poker room. The revolution was set in motion, and Pokerstars emerged on top of all other poker rooms, becoming #1 in the industry. No one has more players, more pros, more games, bigger tournaments, or better promotions than Pokerstars. When you think online poker, Pokerstars should be the 1st poker room that comes to mind, and for some players, it’s the only poker room that comes to mind.
