PokerStars 2010 WSOP Qualifiers

You could argue that PokerStars was one of the main reasons for the online poker explosion. It was their qualifier in 2003 that made Chris Moneymaker an instant millionaire and WSOP main event champion. What you can’t argue however is that the largest online poker site is at it again. With the 2010 World Series of Poker coming up fast, PokerStars is offering everyone a chance to get in on the action.
No matter your bankroll or experience there is a way at PokerStars for you to qualify for the ultimate main event package. There are straight cash buy-in tournaments, FPP (Frequent Player Point) buy-ins and Steps Satellite tournaments. From as little as $7.50 you can become the next legend in the poker world.
The WSOP is one of the most prestigious live tournaments in the world and maybe this is your year to put your name next to PokerStar qualifiers, Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer and Kevin Schaffel. This year’s main event package includes your Main Event buy-in, accommodation at the Palms, expense money and huge bonuses for players that cash and win the event.
If you are a first time player at PokerStars they have a 100% match up to $600 bonus on your first deposit. US players are welcome and good luck at the tables. Team PokerStars Pro Joe Cada won over $8 million dollars last year when he won the main event and this year is shaping up to be even bigger.
