Stevie444 gains Supernova Elite status
The young star gets benefits galore from this great PokerStars promotion
By Philip Tuck
UK online sensation, Stephen “stevie444" Chidwick, has become one of only a handful of players to gain Supernova Elite status on PokerStars. The nineteen year old from Kent now gets some of the sickest benefits available from any site. Benefits of the Supernova Elite status include:- 400% FPP multiplier, with 5 FPP credits earned for every 1 VPP earned.
- Free entry into a monthly $100,000 free roll, as well as free entry into the WCOOP main event.
- TWO free $10,000 tournament packages, with a variety of different tournaments around the world to choose from.

Stephen managed to work up the staggering 1,000,000 VPP’s required to gain Supernova Elite status by playing hundreds of PokerStars steps tournaments. These $2,100 buy in single table satellites enable a player to win numerous main event packages that can be turned into cash instead of seats - with Stephen currently having won an incredible 59 packages. That’s over half a million dollars worth of seats.
I asked Stephen if he ever slept in his pursuit of Supernova Elite status, and this was his response:
“Tried it once but I didn’t make any money doing it so I didn’t see the point”
Enough said really. Hopefully we can see Stephen turning up to events in that VPP Aston Martin sometime soon...
