The Pokerstars Tournament Leader Board gives players a lot more than just bragging rights. Players who top the weekly, monthly, and yearly leader boards get some nice perks that include cash prizes, entries to exclusive freeroll tournaments and much more.
To earn Pokerstars Leader Board points, finish in the top 15% of any multi-table tournaments. The amount of points you earn is based on the buy-in of the tournament and how high you finish.
Pokerstars Weekly Tournament Leader Board
Using each players top ten results for the week, the player with who wins the weekly tournament leader board gets to play in a heads-up match against one of the Pokerstars Team Pro’s. The prize pool is $1,000, but if the Pokerstars Pro wins, the $1,000 goes on top of the following weeks prize pool. If you win, you get whatever is in the pot for that week, with $1,000 being the minimum.
The prize pool has been as high as $6,000, and hits $3-4,000 fairly regularly. So, if you want a chance to go heads-up against a pro, check out Pokerstars and start playing!
Some of the Pokerstars Pro players include Chris Moneymaker, Greg ‘Fossilman’ Raymer, Vanessa Rousso, Gavin Griffin, Chad Brown, Joe Hachem, Alex Kravchenko, and Humberto Brenes.
Pokerstars Monthly Tournament Leader Board
This is where things get interesting. The monthly tournament leader board gives the top 200 players a cut of $30,000 in cash, and the top player gets a cool $5,000.
