Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (PRWEB) May 29, 2007
PokerStars.com's (http://www.pokerstars.com/?source=uspl1) famed duo of Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer need little in the way of introduction.
Both are World Champions. And both are living proof an online poker tournament can be lightning in a bottle, running the gauntlet from PokerStars.com satellite all the way to World Series of Poker Main Event fame and fortune.
PokerListings.com (http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-stars), the world's best and biggest online poker guide, knows history can - and often does - repeat itself. So, on the table: a $25,000 World Series of Poker freeroll, with two players winning huge prize packages including seats in the life-changing WSOP Main Event.
It's an exclusive event for PokerListings players, new and existing, who earn just 100 Frequent Player Points at PokerStars.com between May 20 and June 20, 2007.
Action goes June 24 at 1 p.m. (EDT), with the top two taking $12,500 prize packages, including travel, accommodation and the highly sought-after $10,000 Main Event buy-in.
As added incentive: Any PokerStars qualifier who makes it to the Main Event final table scores a $100,000 bonus. Come in second or third and they'll make it $250,000. For a win, it's an icing-on-the-cake $1 million.
And, as always, PokerListings.com players still get a great sign-up bonus - an exclusive $50 bonus on top of the standard, and at only 100 FPPs.
"We all know the PokerStars.com legacy," says Lianne Elias, senior editor at PokerListings.com, "and how many great players cut their teeth in their MTTs."
"They have an unrivaled tournament lineup, massive ring-game traffic, unmatched game selection. It speaks for itself as far as poker rooms go."
"And so does three World Champions on their roster," she adds. "Nobody thought an online qualifier could pull it off even once, let alone twice, which just goes to show the depth and quality of PokerStars.com's player base.
"And if you're playing the WSOP Main Event, it can't hurt to have a little bit of that PokerStars magic working for you."
