The Poker Stars Turbo Takedown - a tournament with one of the largest guaranteed prize pools in recent memory - is a more unique still for another reason: you can’t buy in with money.
The tournament, set to run at 2:30 EST on February 17th, can only be entered through use of Poker Stars FPPs (Frequent Player Points) - 10,000 of them, to be exact.
Excerpt from the PokerStars Blog announcement of the tournament:
This morning, PokerStars announced it will host the biggest tournament of the week on February 17, at 14:30ET. The no-limit hold’em event has a $2 million guarantee, and get this…you can’t enter with money. The entry fee is 10,000 Frequent Player Points.
Now, you may be of a mind to not drop 10,000 on one tournament. Understandable. There’s a lot you can do with 10,000 FPP credits. PokerStars figured that out, as well. Starting today, you will be able to start playing qualifying satellites for as little as 10 FPP credits.
PokerStars has already posted the payout table on the $2 Million PokerStars Turbo Takedown page. First prize is an astounding $200,000.
The tournament also has a unique payout structure that will allow a full third of the field to cash.

Excerpt from the sheknows interview:
SK: Did you enjoy posing for Playboy?
JL: I liked working with the cast and crew the best. I never thought I’d do it. It took a lot of confidence and talking to my parents. They weren’t too sure of it. They looked at it as an issue of moral. But a woman is beautiful on the inside and out. To tell you the truth, the more you can become one with your body the better. I have hips and breasts and don’t try to use it — but I can and that’s OK. Posing in Playboy allowed a platform for me to show women that it’s possible to be a staple in poker and we’re not going anywhere.
