PokerStars.net The Big GamePokerStars.com boasts that it is the world’s largest poker site and there is good reason for this. PokerStars offers many promotions, including some live events such as entries to the United States Poker Championship in Atlantic City, the EPT London Charity Event, and even a seat in the Big Game. The Big Game is a live nationally televised cash game that you can qualify to be a “loose cannon” on. The round one qualifiers took place starting in March of this year, and go all the way up to December 20th. There are three rounds for qualification into the main event. If you finish in the top 300 of a round one qualifier, you advance to round two, which is held each Saturday up until the end of the tournament qualifiers. A top 1,000 finish in round two gets you into round three on Sunday, where you need to finish in the top 200. These 200 players will be put into a casting pool, where they must submit a video outlining why they should be featured as a loose cannon on the show. Not only do you need poker skills, then, but charisma and a camera-friendly attitude to win the loose cannon spot on the show. PokerStars will stake you the $100,00 necessary to play on the show, anything you win beyond that is yours to keep. You must however, survive the minimum 150 hands in order to keep your winnings.
