35,000 online poker fans get it together

December 30, 2008 (InfoPowa News) -- After all the hype surrounding its latest world record-breaking attempt, which included the news that registrations had reached the cap of 35,000 players a good day before the event started, it was almost an anticlimax to learn Sunday that PokerStars.com had achieved its aim of 35,000 players in action simultaneously ... almost, as this is a remarkable feat by any standards.

Today, the Guiness World Book of Records entry for most poker players on one site, in action, at one time is held by PokerStars after an outstanding turnout that showcased both its pull and technological capacity. The fact that the maximum 35,000 entries to the $11 buy-in, $500,000 prize pool event had been achieved by early Saturday morning speaks to the wide appeal of both the game and the appeal of the giant site.
