PokerListings.com Splashes Out $40,000 World Series Weekend with InterPoker.com

With the 2007 World Series of Poker on the doorstep, the eyes of the poker world are naturally shifting towards Las Vegas - and the remaining ways a player can still get a cut of the action. One of the best: A $40,000 WSOP freeroll weekend at InterPoker.com, where three PokerListings players will score $12,500 packages to the biggest game in town.

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- The World Series of Poker is "it" - far and away the most celebrated event in poker, this or any year, and where the who's who and what's what of poker gets set for years to come.

The world's best online poker guide, PokerListings.com (http://www.pokerlistings.com/live-tournaments/wsop/qualify), naturally, wants to put you right in the center of it.

So much so they're tripling your chances to freeroll your way there, with another huge $40,000 satellite weekend - this one at world-class, bonus-heavy poker room InterPoker.com (http://www.interpoker.com/minisite/1106/pokerlistings/index.html).

The dates: June 15, 16 and 17, with one freeroll each day handing the winner a $12,500 package for the 2007 WSOP Main Event, including buy-in and expenses.

Qualifying is ongoing, and clearing just $200 in rake between April 1 and May 31 punches your ticket into the first freeroll. Clearing $300 gets you into the first two and $400 qualifies you for all three, giving you multiple chances to play your way to the center of the poker universe at great value.

All PokerListings.com players are eligible, old and new, as long as they've signed-up at InterPoker.com through a PL link. And PL players, of course, still get the biggest sign-up bonus guaranteed, now $250 at 167% match.

"If you're a poker player," says Lianne Elias, senior editor at PokerListings.com, "it's impossible not to have an inkling to play the World Series of Poker Main Event. Impossible"

"It's a classic piece of poker history" she says, "and a little part of every player sees a WSOP gold bracelet on their wrist and a picture of themselves holding up the winning cards on the mantel."

"This freeroll weekend is a great way to make it one step closer to reality. And as we saw last year, anything is possible once you're in the game. So why not give it shot?"
