Be one of the first to win a seat at this year’s WSOP®

It’s every player’s dream to take a shot at the World Series of Poker®. There’s the giant prize pool: Last year’s winner Jerry Yang took home more than $8 million after beating 6,358 other players. Then there’s the chance to join the former WSOP® champions in the poker history books.

And, of course, you’ll love the amazing Las Vegas experience the WSOP® guarantees. It’s simply the nuts!

This year’s WSOP® Main Event is going to be huge: The action’s taking place in the Rio’s gigantic Amazon Room, and the field will be so large that the first day is being split into four starting days! To make sure you’re one of the first to grab a seat, play in the early WSOP® qualifiers, where you could win a package worth $10,000 and up, including:

• Your buy-in to the Main Event, worth $10,000
• $1,000 spending money
• Accommodation in a luxurious five-star Las Vegas
• Access to an exclusive VIP hospitality suite
• Transfers from the hotel to the venue

The qualifiers have started already. You can join the action for as little as $2.

Choose your route to the WSOP® with any qualifier tournament structure.

You could be bringing home a coveted bracelet - and millions of dollars - this July.

Good luck!
