Play now at Poker Stars and get 100% deposit bonus

Poker Stars.net is promoting a new high-stakes cash game will be shown on national TV. Called the Pokerstars.net Big Game, it will feature regular poker players from all walks of life playing against some of the big-name poker players that we’ve all become familiar with.

Your goal is to be selected as a Loose Cannon because if you are, you’ll be sent to Las Vegas to play against poker players like Daniel Negreanu and Vanessa Rousso. It will be taped for a television show.

Here’s how it works: Simply play one of the free round one qualifiers, which you can play four times a day from now until Jan 25th. A player ranked in the top 300 in each qualifier will move to the second round, where your goal is to finish in the top 1,000. If you do, you will be in the finals.

Once in the finals, you must finish in the top 200 of all qualifiers. Do that and you’ll be asked to send in a casting video, making a case for why you should be included in the show’s broadcast as a Loose Cannon. It’s true there are several steps you have to take before you will be cast in the show, but PokerStars says there’s a good reason for this.

“Getting there is going to be a battle, but that’s because we only want the best player,” says the contest description at Pokerstars.net. “This is your chance to prove you have the patience, desire and skill to hold your own and be tested to the max.”

Best of all, if you do get a spot at the table in Las Vegas, Poker Stars.net provides $100,000 to play with. You get to keep any profits you make.

To start the qualification process, go to the PokerStars lobby and click on ‘Tourney’ and then ‘Regional’. From there, look for tournaments listed as ‘Big Game
