The New Year has only just kicked off, and it is already clear that we are in for a big one in terms of live poker, as PokerStars and other operators have announced a rich schedule of major live events across all buyins.

The highlight of early 2023 will certainly be the big PokerStars-sponsored festival at the beautiful Baha Mar Resort in Nassau.

It will combine two of the biggest events in poker history, PCA and PSPC.

With this festival, the online poker operator will continue its long tradition of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) as the most exotic stop on the poker calendar.

The event will bring back the biggest $25,000 live tournament in the world, the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC), all in ten days of hectic poker action.

It’s been a while since the poker world last visited the Bahamas, and this year’s festival stands to be one of the biggest ones we have seen in this part of the world yet.

With the kickoff time quickly approaching, let’s take a look at the schedule, the main highlights, and the ways you can still win your way into the 2023 PCA and PSPC.

PokerStars PCA and PSPC 2023 Schedule

The 2023 PCA will be running from January 22 to February 3, with a variety of events and satellites scheduled for the period.

While the major PCA events will feature buy-ins of $10,000 and higher, plenty of lower-stakes tournaments will run alongside. These are perfect for players looking to enjoy a more affordable and stress-free version of the experience.

The whole series will kick off with a $100,000 PCA Super High Roller on January 22, guaranteed to bring out some of the game’s biggest names.

The $10,300 PCA Main Event kicks off the very next day and will feature two Day 1 flights, with players still able to buyin during the early levels of Day 2.

In total, the Main Event will take place over six days, giving everyone plenty of time to show off their poker skills.

Three further $50,000 High Rollers will run on January 24, 25, and 26, with the first one being a single-day event for players with more limited patience.

On January 27, PokerStars will run another $25,000 NLH High Roller, with a $25,000 PLO High Roller offering the same kind of opportunity for the lovers of the great game of Pot Limit Omaha.

All of this will be a great buildup for the $25,000 PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) event on January 30, which could end up being the biggest $25k of 2023 altogether.

The big guns will have two more opportunities to fire on January 31 and February 2, as a $250k PSPC Super High Roller and $100k 6-Max High Roller close out the schedule of major events of the festival.

PCA & PSCP 2023 Highlights

In total, the PCA and PSPC will feature 70 separate events, including High Rollers, Mystery Bounty tournaments, satellites to the Main Events, and much more.

With such an exhaustive list of poker tournaments, all poker players are bound to find at least one event that calls their name, whether they prefer Texas Hold’em, PLO, Mixed Games, or any other format of the game.
