Winning the World Series of Poker is the ultimate achievement in any poker player’s career and practically anybody can still qualify for it by playing on InterPoker.com. The site is giving away at least 10 seats every weekend in June. In addition to your entry, InterPoker pay towards flights and accommodation so there is literally nothing to lose!
New and existing players can log onto InterPoker and enter one of the daily satellite tournaments to have the chance to qualify for the WSOP Main Event.
This year’s World Series of Poker starts at the Rio, then moves on to the famous Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas with tournaments running daily throughout June and early July. The series culminates with the “No Limit Hold’em World Championship” which runs from Thursday 7th to the 15th July.
The recent explosion in popularity of poker, partly brought about by the success of the game on-line, has drastically increased the value of the WSOP which is recognized as the largest and most prestigious poker tournament in the world.
The estimated prize fund of over $10,000,000 is the biggest single pay day in any annual sporting contest and dwarfs the next most lucrative competitions. In comparison, Tiger Woods banked £668,000 from the US Masters golf championship, and the next men’s singles Wimbledon winner will collect £630,000.
