With the Main Event of the World Series of Poker set to begin in under four months, many sites have developed a multitude of ways for their players to win their way in to what could be the largest live poker event in history. When the Main Event starts on Friday, July 6, 2007, at 12:00 noon Pacific Time, many seated in the Amazon Room at the Rio will have qualified through Full Tilt Poker, which has several promotions for those wanting to qualify for the Main Event. Capped off by the $10 Million Main Event Mania, winning your way into the Main Event has never been easier.

Full Tilt is offering an additional $10 million to anyone who qualified on its site that wins the Main Event. Not a bad deal – Take down millions of dollars and then get an additional $10 million just for qualifying on Full Tilt. This is the third straight year that Full Tilt has offered this promotion. Last year’s winner, Jamie Gold, was associated with Bodog and the previous three winners – Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem (pictured at left) – all were affiliated with PokerStars.

Three nights per week, Full Tilt offers guaranteed WSOP seat tournaments. On Tuesdays at 9:00pm ET, two seats are guaranteed in a $322 buy-in tournament. On Thursdays at 9:00pm ET, five seats are guaranteed in a $1,060 buy-in tournament. Finally, on Sundays at 9:00pm ET, two seats are guaranteed in a $216 buy-in tournament. Satellites for all of these guaranteed tournaments start at $4.40 or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Want to freeroll your way in? Here is Full Tilt’s solution for you: “Just earn a minimum of 3,000 Full Tilt Points in any qualifying week and you'll be eligible to play in a weekly freeroll tournament where we'll give away at least two completely free $10,000 WSOP Main Event seats. Qualifying weeks for these free tournaments will begin every Thursday and end every Wednesday between March 1st and June 20th. The weekly freeroll tournaments will be held at 4:30pm ET each Sunday [until] June 24th.”

Several players will win multiple seats into the Main Event and Full Tilt will offer $12,000 in cash for each seat won beyond the first. In addition, the player who wins the most total $12,000 packages will be crowned “King of the WSOP.” According to Full Tilt’s website, the King of the WSOP will receive (in addition to many dollars in cash from their winnings): “A crown on the avatar of your choice, first-class round-trip airfare from anywhere in the United States, limo service to and from your hotel and McCarran Airport, and a free suite at the Rio or at an equivalent hotel.” If anyone wins more than five Main Event seats (the number won by last year’s champ, Azimut), Full Tilt will toss in an additional $25,000.

So check out Full Tilt when you’re plotting how to qualify for the WSOP. Last year, nearly 9,000 poker hopefuls battled it out in Las Vegas. Don’t miss out on your chance. Visit Full Tilt Poker for more details.
