Juli 5, 2010

PokerStars.net is pleased to announce its involvement in The Empire State Hold’em Championship at
Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York.

Running from August 14-18, 2010, The Empire State Hold’em Championship will be sponsored by
PokerStars.net and will feature a $2,500 buy-in main event open to all players of 18 years of age and
older. This is an exciting new collaboration for PokerStars.net in New York State and should prove a
popular draw for many players.

Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona was opened in 1993 and boasts a spacious 32 table poker
room, plus 60 additional tournament tables. It also offers Vegas style gaming, some of the country’s top
award-winning championship golf courses, numerous restaurants and world class entertainment.
All this makes for the ideal venue for the player party, hosted by the resort and PokerStars.net, on the
eve of the main event, on August 13 at 8pm at Lava Night Club.
Jason DiBenedetto, Director of Poker Operations at Turning Stone Resort and Casino, states: “We are
very excited about our new partnership with PokerStars.net and look forward to welcoming players to
Turning Stone Resort for this premier poker event. There will be preliminary events beginning on August
9 leading up to the main event and several events running after the main event through August 22.” For
