Always looking to keep a leg up on its competitors, the world’s largest online poker site, PokerStars has just revealed it’s schedule for the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. The popular annual event brings players from all over the world to the luxurious Paradise Island Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas. Mixing the tropics and poker, it is a welcome destination for poker players amateur and professional alike during the cold, bleak winter months.

This year, the festivities are scheduled to take place from January 4th through the 11th and will feature a main event with 50 additional side tournaments. No need to worry about having nothing to do after busting out as the plethora of contests will keep the biggest action junkie busy. In last year’s main event, a player named Poorya Naazari took home the title along with $3Million of the $12.6 Million prize pool. Naazari outlasted a field of 1,347 which included 850 online qualifiers while each other final table competitor took home a minimum of $230,000. Tournament directors are expecting that this year’s version will attract even more players and the prize pool will be bumped to almost $15 Million.

In fact the entire poker community is buzzing about this event which is rivaling the 2009 World Series of Poker in terms of sheer popularity and features something for even the stingiest poker aficionado. Qualifying on PokerStars has already begun and players of even meager bankrolls can work their way into the events.
