WSOP Freerolls & Sundays with PokerStars

By Pauly
New York City

At the time of publication, PokerStars is currently sending 945 players to the 2008 WSOP. There are still seats available, so if you don't have a PokerStars account, you can download PokerStars software here.


PokerStars has been running their Million Dollar Giveaway. If you haven't been playing in their weekly freerolls, then what are you waiting for? I don't have a hard-on to play in the WSOP, but how can I pass up a chance at a free seat? Freerolls are not an easy path, but it's free to enter and you're eligible for one per week.

The best I have done since the WSOP freerolls started was 225th place (out of 3673 runners) the other night. I got as high as 99th place in chips with 1800 players left. I went out when my 7-7 lost to A-K and A-6s in a three-way pot.

There are WSOP freerolls on PokerStars every hour (at 5 past the hour) and the top 50 in each freeroll wins a seat to the Weekly Finals. PokerStars gives away seven free seats every Saturday during their Weekly Finals. This promotion is running through June 27th.

Since this is a PokerStars shill post, I might as well metion the email that I got the other day about PokerStars hosting "the biggest games online every Sunday." The $100K is the most popular and sells out every week while the Sunday Million is "the world's biggest weekly guaranteed tournament."
