PokerStars racks up another world record

PokerStars drew more players in one day than the entire 2009 WSOP.

PokerStars is certainly living up to its billing as the world's largest poker site.

The online giant drew 307,016 players on 42,814 tables Sept. 6, which was more than enough for a new world record.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records it was the most players ever recorded on an Internet poker room, breaking PokerStars own record by more than 100,000 players.

At this rate, PokerStars is only competing with itself for online traffic records and the site still holds the record for the largest poker tournament ever held at 65,000 players on July 19, 2009.

As the world's largest poker site, PokerStars has more than 27 million members worldwide and has dealt more than 33 billion hands since it launched in 2001.

The online site has since expanded to include a number of live poker tours including the European Poker Tour, Asian Pacific Poker Tour and the Latin American Poker Tour.

The PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker main event is also the world's most lucrative online tournament.

Yevgeniy "Jovial Giant" Timoshenko won $1.7 million for taking down the event Sept. 21.
