I was just playing a Mickey Mouse tournament at PokerStars and the servers crashed. I’m not sure of the full extent of the affected events but I did notice that all the satellites to the Sunday 1/4 million are down. Players have been put on break so long – lol, first time I have ever seen PokerStars go down, it’s really unusual hence this post.

I sent support a few logs and emails already, not sure of their rulings entirely but its hardly fair that I lost several blinds while others were still connected, I went so far as to reboot my PC and after that didn’t succeed I switched ISP’s sent the log files etc. Hope they fix the issue soon……
