ONCHAN, Isle of Man – February 8, 2017 – PokerStars Championship Panama which takes place from March 10-20, will now feature more than $600,000 in guarantees, including $400,000 guaranteed in the $1,100 PokerStars National Championship, formerly known as the Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) Main Event, sponsored by PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (NASDAQ: AYA; TSX: AYA) brand.

The schedule, which has been tweaked following player feedback in order to optimise the player experience, has had the number of events on offer slimmed down from 56 to 46, and adjustments made to the schedule such as prolonged registration, re-entries, tournaments with new deeper stacks and longer levels. After the success of the Shot Clock tournament at PokerStars Championship Bahamas, a shot clock will be used in both the $50,000 PokerStars Championship Super High Roller and the $25,750 NL Hold’em Single day High Roller tournaments during PokerStars Championship Panama.
