PokerStars announced its newest cash game competition, PokerStars All Stars, which will pit the best players against each other to showcase the best parts of the game.

“This diagnosis led to a simple idea: What about giving our best players the opportunity to compete in a rake-free environment with the focus being on the skill difference between players in order to acknowledge who the best online cash game players are?” Director of Poker Innovation and Operations for PokerStars Severin Rasset wrote on the PokerStars Blog.

The one-month tournament has two stakes, the NL200 (Masters) and NL2000 (All Stars), in NL Hold’em.
