Wenn einem der kalte Wind den Schnee um die Nase bläst, denkt momentan sicherlich niemand an Frühling. Bis zum 2. April 2009 wird sich das aber ändern und deshalb begrüßt PokerStars das Frühjahr mit dem Spring Championship of Online Poker.
Insgesamt sind es 22 Events, die von 2. bis 12. April 2009 auf dem Programm stehen. Das Besondere daran ist, dass es jedes der 25 Events in dreifacher Ausführung gibt. Denn es wird von jedem Turnier eine Low, eine Medium und eine High Variante angeboten. Low bewegt sich im Bereich von $5,50 bis hin zu $109, für die Medium Stufe verschiebt man das Komma eine Position nach hinten. Die Buy-ins in diese Stufe liegen zwischen $55 und $1.030. Die teure Variante ist schlägt mit Buy-ins zwischen $530 und $10.300 zu Buche.
Nur ein Event schlägt aus der Reihe – Event # 21 am 12. April. Statt der Ostereiersuche darf man sich nämlich im Heads-up versuchen. Die Low-Variante hat bereits ein Buy-in von $270, Medium $2.600. Richtig geraten, bei der High-Version gilt es tatsächlich, $25.500 auf den virtuellen Tisch zu legen. Verständlicherweise werden Satellites für das Turnier angeboten.
Die Events sind breit gefächert und die verschiedenen Varianten sollen jedem das Spiel seiner Wahl bieten. Entgegen dem WSOP Trend sind auch Rebuy-Events dabei.
