Theoretically, it is still possible. 100,000 tier points are needed to make 7-Star. At 40 points per hour (the current rate paid for 2/5 NL and the pink chip game, plus anything else at those levels or higher at the Atlantic City properties) it would playing 50 hours a week for 50 weeks. That's if one can find those games running for 50 hours a week and want to play in them. But, it is doable, if one wants to play 2,500 hours of poker a year! I did that once, and it left me totally spent. Never again by me!
Under the proposed new point system (already in use at the Vegas properties and perhaps elsewhere), those games would only pay 34 points per hour.
Thus, one would have to play almost 3,000 hours of 2/5 and higher a year in order to make 7 Star!
So, is it possible to still make 7 Star? Yes, its possible, but that's one heck of a lot of poker!
