Think you've got what it takes to be part of a team that can beat the biggest names in poker? It's time to prove it with the PokerStars All Star Week. We are assembling a team of All Star Challengers that will go one-on-one with Team PokerStars Pro in a series of heads-up matches March 23-29. Get your place on the team and you'll be playing for cash prizes, and the pride that comes with beating the best players in the game.
Any PokerStars player can make it onto the All Star Challengers line-up. If you scooped the Sunday Million in 2008, finished high on the Yearly Tournament Leader Board, made it to Supernova Elite or reached a WCOOP final table, you'll be getting a special invite to take part in the All Star Week. But even if you don't fit into any of these categories, you can still be part of the action. For just $11, you can qualify as a wildcard and get your place on the team that takes on Team PokerStars Pro. Every player that makes the cut will also be rewarded with a ticket to the $1,050 SCOOP - All Stakes Main Event.
Whether you're a wildcard or an invited player, beating Team PokerStars Pro isn't going to be easy. It's a line-up full of champions, with 17 bracelets and millions of dollars in tournament winnings between them. If you're up to the challenge and are ready to prove that you can be a poker All Star, see the How to Qualify page to find out how you can take part in this exclusive event.
PokerStars will be keeping you up to date with the latest news on their results page. You can also get reports from each heads-up match at the PokerStars Blog.

There will be five heads-up matches every day, from March 23-29, starting at 12:00 ET, 14:00 ET, 16:00 ET, 18:00 ET and 20:00 ET. Each match will see one of the Challengers face off against a member of Team PokerStars Pro.

Prizes
Each heads-up match will award $1,000 to the player that wins the match for their team. What's more, when all matches are complete, the winning team will share a prize pool of $1,000 for each match they won. For example, if the Challengers win 20 out of the 35 heads-up matches, they'll get to share a total prize pool of $20,000! All money won by Team PokerStars Pro will be donated to a charity chosen by team Captain Victor Ramdin.
They'll also be giving away a 1-stamp PokerStars Passport to the Challengers team member named as MVP.
