Over the next ten days poker players from all over the world will compete in 35 different poker events with buy-ins ranging from $600 all the way up to $100,000.
Over 400 players are already confirmed for the $10,000 Main Event and 30 have signed up for the six-figure Super High Roller.
Celebs and sports stars competing this year include UFC fighter Tito Ortiz, PGA golfer Sergio Garcia, football legend Ronaldo Nazario and TV sitcom star Jason Alexander.
PokerStars will also begin taping the second season of its new televised game show Shark Cage on location at Atlantis in the Bahamas.
“PCA 2015 introduces the novelty of the Double Bubble format in some side events, as well as the joint effort of LAPT season 8 with PCA, and the shooting of Shark Cage season 2,” said David Carrion, PCA Director.
“All this together provides for an exciting kick-off of the 2015 poker season and another opportunity to celebrate poker at its highest standards in a dream location. I can’t believe it is going to be the 12th edition of the PCA; all of us are looking forward to it!”
