Gold Pass Freeroll: PokerStars Puts Jason Koon in the Spotlight

Chasin’ Jason Freerolls: A Monte Carlo Dream at Stake

While the task at hand isn’t easy in the slightest, the idea is relatively simple – the freeroll series comprises two tournaments scheduled this weekend. Pennsylvania players can join the action on today, December 20, while the Michigan and New Jersey shared player pool takes their shot on Saturday, December 21. Registration for each event opens 24 hours before the start time, meaning players can already register for both days.

Here's @JasonKoon talking about his "Chasin' Jason" Freerolls this weekend.

When and where? ⬇️

💥 PA 8pm Fri 20th Dec.
💥 MI/NJ 11am Sat 21 Dec.

Jason Koon, a household name in the poker world, has more than $59 million in live tournament earnings and ranks fourth on the all-time money list. Known for his strategic brilliance, Koon has no intention of making his elimination an easy task. In his own words:

“Don’t think I’ll go easy on anyone. If you want the Gold Pass, you’ll have to earn it by taking me out. Game on!”

The PokerStars Vision Behind the Freeroll

R.J. Peterson, Senior Director of Marketing at PokerStars North America, was eager to share the idea behind this freeroll:

“Jason has already brought incredible energy to PokerStars, and this freeroll is the perfect way to celebrate. It’s not every day you get the chance to face off against a poker legend and potentially win your way to Monte Carlo.”

This freeroll will be the first major event tied to Koon’s ambassadorship, signaling the start of what PokerStars promises will be a series of opportunities for players to engage with Koon.
