On Monday, PokerStars released its schedule for the 10th annual PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, which will again take place at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The 2013 PCA will begin on Jan. 5 and will consist of 40 events including a $100,000 Super High Roller with unlimited reentries, a $25,000 High Roller with one optional reentry, a $1,000 triple stud event, a $1,000 Zoom Mobile Challenge, and of course, the $10,000 Main Event.

To celebrate the historic 10th anniversary of the festival, PokerStars is offering $10 buy-in tournaments that will award 10 PCA packages every week for the next 10 weeks. A total of 100 prizes worth $16,000 will be given away during this PCA 10 promotion, and the tournaments will run from October 1 to December 9.

The final tables of the Super High Roller, High Roller, and Main Event will be broadcasted with cards-up on EPT Live on a one-hour delay.

Last year’s Main Event winner was 43-year-old stock trader John Dibella. Dibella bested a field of 1,072 players, earning $1,775,000. Viktor Blom took down the Super High Roller, earning $1,254,400, and Leonid Bilokur defeated Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel heads up in the High Roller, winning $1,134,930.

“There is no other live 10-day event where you will find the variety and number of games that the PCA offers,” said Neil Johnson, Live Specialist for PokerStars. “It really is a unique event in terms of the amount of poker and the range of buy-in levels available, and we always try to add some new and fun variants that you won’t find anywhere else.”

The complete schedule is listed below. Each of the 10 events with an asterisk (*) next to it is a “Signature Trophy Event” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the PCA.
