happyhornet Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Re: Pokerstars - New Guinness World Record Attempt 19th July 2009 This is seriously going to take days to finish:loon A 3000 player tourney with 10 minute levels last night went on from 9pm til 4am when I was knocked out with 18 left. I know many of the 2.5 million entrants will go hell for leather and double up or leave, but this could go on for a serious while!! Good luck to all who enter:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
