One of the major setbacks from over the last few years for PokerStars at least from my perspective has been that the tournaments are way over crowded and take way too long to finish, when you enter a Tourney at PokerStars the numbers initially seem reasonable but sure enough, come the end of extended registration the number of entries is insane and it takes forever to reach the final, what you thought would have taken two hours to complete can take upwards of 6-7 hours should you end up on the final table. At times these extended periods of play are enjoyable however when we are talking about $3-$5 buyins often it is a waste of time unless you finish in the top 3 paying places.
PokerStars must have realized that this time factor for many of their players is an issue so they have concepted a rather ingenious new tournament format that places its emphasis on Time.
The new advent is aptly named:”PokerStars Time Tourneys”, the new Time Tourneys from Poker Stars offer a fast action paced new format of poker tournaments which have a fixed time to end, once the scheduled time of the tourney has been reached the tournament ends and the prize pool is split among the remaining players according to chip stack size.
The new Time Tourneys will offer buy-ins from as low as $1 and tournament playing times will range from as little as 15 minutes all the way up to 180 minutes and will be running around the clock. Get a free PokerStars Time Tourney ticket, simply read more.

The AGCC (Alderney Gambling Control Commission) have revoked Full Tilt Pokers gaming license despite the recent French investor testifying their “intent to purchase” the company Full Tilt Poker. The AGCC decision to revoke three of the four Full Tilt Poker licenses would make it harder to close the deal with the investor.
The AGCC released a statement which claims that Full Tilt Poker were in “serious breaches of AGCC regulations include false reporting, unauthorised provision of credit, and failure to report material events.” The AGCC also stated that “It is important to note that the revocation of FTP’s licenses does not, as has been suggested, prevent a reactivation of the business under new ownership and management.”
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York have also released a statement on the AGCC’s decision which includes what actions the Department of Justice plan on taking from here which could possibly include Full Tilt Poker players funds being returned by recovering funds from the alleged fraudulent activities. They also stated that the case “will last for many months at the least.”
