How to make it to the PokerStars Shark Cage
Online qualifier tournaments take place daily at 09:05, 12:05 & 15:05 ET from May 29-June 09. In addition to an added prize pool of $1,500, the top 20 finishers in each qualifier will advance to the casting stage to audition for the TV show (see below).
The TV show includes eight heats, all filmed at European Poker Tour (EPT) events. Each heat will see five top pros and one online qualifier play for a seat in the final, held at EPT London, where they will play for $1,000,000 - winner takes all.
Heats 5, 6, 7 and 8 take place as part of EPT Barcelona in August. This means there’s room for four qualifiers, with not just a seat in the heats on offer, but also a trip to Barcelona, including return flights for two, double room at the Pullman Skipper Hotel, and $600 credited to your PokerStars account for expenses!
How to secure your qualifier tickets
Deposit $20 (€14/£12) or more, before 23:59 ET on June 08, using bonus code ‘SHARKJUNE’ for 10 free tickets, which can be used to enter any of the Shark Cage qualifier tournaments with a $1,500 added prize pool.
Please Note: All Shark Cage qualifying tickets are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. Offer only valid once per player, which means that one player can claim a maximum of 10 tickets. Unused tickets and tickets claimed after any of the qualifying tournaments have been played will be forfeited.
Casting Stage
Make it to the casting stage and you’ll be invited to send PokerStars a video audition. Use the two minute video as an opportunity to grab their attention - tell them about you, your story - especially your life outside of poker - and make sure you inject plenty of personality, humour and enthusiasm!
Note that all videos must be submitted in English and not be longer than two minutes. Simply upload your video to YouTube and email the link to sharkcage@pokerstars.com by 23:59 ET on June 17.
PokerStars will review all submissions and shortlist the best ones. If shortlisted, you will be contacted by phone for further interviews. Once the phone interviews are completed, four winners will be announced on July 25.
