*** POKERFRAUDALERT EXCLUSIVE ***
From a reliable source:
- Pokerstars will have the PCA in the Bahamas again in 2017, but that will be its final year.
Reasons cited:
- The numbers have been decreasing since Black Friday, so it isn't as profitable as it once was.
- Pokerstars already has other successful live tournament series running throughout the year, which did not exist when the PCA began over 10 years ago.
- PCA tournament and its concept are "stale" at this point.
- Bahamas location is only convenient for USA players, who cannot play on Pokerstars anymore.
- Contract will be up, and Pokerstars will not be renewing.
It is unclear at this time if the PCA will be replaced by any other tournament or venue.
