PokerStars Targets Recreational Players With New "Common Cents" Series

On the heels of successful World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) - where higher-stakes players competed for a share of more than a guaranteed $45 million - PokerStars just introduced a new tournament series dubbed Common Cents - which should prove to be more suitable for the "common" player on its network.

The Common Cents poker festival takes place on PokerStars from Oct. 5-11, featuring 14 tournaments all costing under $1 with at least $250,000 in combined guaranteed prizes.

The online poker series kicks off on Oct. 5 at 14:05 ET with the Common Cents Kick-Off $100K GTD, a freezeout tournament costing just a penny with a huge six-digit guaranteed prize pool.
