Players Ready for Battle in Event #2 of PokerStars Summer Series
Last weekend saw the first event of the PokerStars Summer Series at Live! Casino and Hotel Philadelphia and it was a massive success. Today, Event #2: $1,100 No Limit Hold��em begins and is expected to be no different.
Matthew Gross won the first event in this series, conquering a field of 1,020 to take home $69,568 and the coveted trophy. Last weekend's field more than doubled the guarantee, while the battle begins today for a guaranteed prize pool of $300,000.
