Pokerstars.com launches qualifying tournaments

Pokerstars.com recently launched a myriad of qualifying tournaments for the upcoming 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event, which takes place in Las Vegas. If you’re looking to qualify for the big game, Pokerstars offers a way to get in for as little as $1.10 or 100 FPPs. Players can win a $12,000 package that covers the entry fee ($10K) into the tournament. The lucky winner also will receive an eight-night stay at a luxury resort and a cool $1K in cash.

Did you miss out of getting in right when this started on April 30? Not to worry, as tournaments run until the start of the Main Event in July. On June 20, a huge, 200-seat “Mega Satellite” will be conducted.

And if that weren’t enough, if you make your way through the ranks and qualify for the WSOP Main Event on Pokerstars, you’ll be eligible for even more once arriving in Las Vegas. Funded by Pokerstars, these bonuses include 50K VIP Player Points, two invitations to an exclusive party on July 11, and, of course, a gift bag.

Now, even though there’s only one Daniel Negreanu, everyone who enters the tournament has hopes of winning. And as an extra benefit to those who make it deep into the WSOP Main Event, Pokerstars is offering yet another free package, which includes hotel accommodations, Main Event buy-in and travel expenses) toward any NAPT Main Event, including a $10,300 buy-in for the 2011 PCA in the Bahamas. Not a bad deal at all. Every eligible player that cashes in at the 2010 Main Event is awarded, and players are able to choose the package they wish to receive.

And if lady luck blesses you with an incredible victory at the Main Event, as a Pokerstars qualifier, you’ll also be eligible for a bonus payment of – wait for it – $1M in cash and tournament buy-ins. Good luck!
