Major live poker tournaments have started returning to casinos, particularly in the United States, but we now have the first significant, confirmed casualty of 2021. On Wednesday, PokerStars announced that the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) has been canceled. Technically, it is “postponed,” but seeing as it is not going to run this calendar year, I think we can call the 2021 PSPC canceled.
“We know that this further news will come as a disappointment to many hoping the PSPC would take place this year,” wrote PokerStars both in an e-mail to the media and on its blog, “but our priority is the safety and good health of all our players and staff, as well as the communities that host such large events.”
