You called your senator today, as part of the PPA's Phone March on Washington, right?Good. Now, if you haven't joined the PPA, PokerStars has quite an incentive for you to learn more about the organization: they're running some really cool tournaments -- with a potentially huge overlay -- so players can support the PPA financially, and think about joining:
PokerStars supports the efforts of the PPA and wants to give PokerStars players a chance to support the PPA as well. To encourage players to join the PPA, we're running a daily $1 buy-in tournament with $5,000 added to the prize pool. The tournaments will run at 21:30 ET so all American players have a chance to play.
There are a few caveats: each player can only play once, and by joining the tourney you're giving PokerStars permission to share your e-mail address with the PPA (the idea is to inform online players about the PPA, after all). All the details are at PokerStars' PPA Page.
Last night's tournament had just over 1800 players, making the prize pool over $6800. That's a hell of an overlay!
