While not millions, one of last year's free tigergaming tournament winners, Troy O'Brien, a firefighter from Elizabeth, New Jersey, ended up parlaying his freeroll into over $51,000 in Main Event winnings. "For the past three years, AOL has offered amateur tigergaming poker players something they can't find anywhere else - a free opportunity to play at the World Series of Poker Main Event," said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner. The relationship between AOL and Harrah's provides Games.com with the exclusive use of the WSOP brand for a variety of online tigergaming poker games including Texas hold'em, Omaha, Omaha hi/lo, razz, stud, stud hi/lo, and five-card draw. The site also offers poker tips and videos featuring professional tigergaming poker players.
Tournament details and official rules are available at the site. Thanks to AOL and Harrah's, six lucky players this year will turn "You've Got Mail" into "You've Got a Seat" at the biggest poker event in the world. PartyPoker is proud to be working with Pacific Poker to launch two massive freeroll opportunities – both of which could win you a seat to the biggest poker competition in the world and are valued at $17,000 each! The first freeroll will run on Saturday May 31 at 14:00 EST/15:00 EDT and qualification starts tomorrow.
Pacific Poker is offering one of the most valuable WSOP* packages available – Each $17,000 Team PartyPoker Package will grant the winner entry to the $10,000 Main Event (Thursday, July 3), 10 nights accommodation at the very luxurious Palazzo Tower of the Venetian Hotel, plus $2,500 cash for travel and $2,000 cash to spend as you wish! the opportunity to be decked out in full Pacific Poker gear when they receive their very own merchandise pack and receive special invites to both the 888 Welcome Party and the private poker event hosted by cricket extraordinaire turned poker player, Shane Warne.
Finally, PartyPoker will ourselves extend to you a special invite to our Team PartyPoker Welcome Party where you will get the chance to meet and network with some of the world's budding online poker players. There are two ways you can get in on the fun – by finishing in the top three of a PartyPoker Daily WSOP* Qualifier Freeroll or finishing in the top eight of a PartyPoker Daily $5 + $0.50 Qualifier. Players who qualify to compete in a $17,000 Team PartyPoker Freeroll must manually register for the paradisepoker tournament.
