With the World Series underway you may have thought you once again missed your chance to go to the big dance – but think again! You CAN still find yourself sitting at the biggest main Event of the year on July 3rd, thanks to PokerStars.

Strike up the band and clear your calendar for June 14th because that is the day you will need to play - to win your WSOP Main Event seat!

On June 14 at 16:30 ET, PokerStars will be holding a World Series mega Main Event Qualifier satellite that will guarantee at least 200 prize packages to the WSOP 2009 Main Event! And since the Main Event is rapidly approaching, this just may be your best and last chance to see if you have what it takes to be the next WSOP World Champ!

This special Main Event Qualifier will be held in place of the normally scheduled Sunday Million on June 14th, with a direct buy-in available for just $370. But why not try to get in cheap by playing in the full range of qualifier satellites? These satellites allow you the chance to win your seat in the mega Main Event Qualifier, starting at only $2.20 or 460 FPPs (Frequent Player Points). And when you play in the Mega Satellite Main Event Qualifier, PokerStars will award you an extra bonus - double VIP points!

Win your World Championship Main Event prize package and reel in a prize worth $12,000 that includes; your Main Event buy- in, hotel accommodations and $1,000 cash for travel and expenses. The Main Event party starts on July 3rd at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and PokerStars wants to see YOU there! Follow in the footsteps of past PokerStars winners like Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem and you too could be crowned the next WSOP Champion!

But don’t think the freebies stop when you win your WSOP Main Event seat because when you get there, PokerStars will give you a shot at winning your share of $1 Million Dollars – for FREE!

When you get to Las Vegas, PokerStars will be hosting a series of live FreeRoll Sit n’ Go Satellites and every one of them will have a cash prize pool with the top finisher being awarded a ticket to play in the online final. These FreeRolls will give away a total of $1 Million Dollars in prizes! And these events and the cash to be won will be only for those players who won their seat through PokerStars and played in the Main Event! PLUS if you wear PokerStars logo gear while you play in the WSOP Main Event, you will automatically be a PokerStars SuperNova VIP when you are credited 100,000 FPPs!

Team PokerStars Pro Peter Eastgate who is the reigning WSOP Champion said; “The World Series is the tournament to play if you are going to take a shot at fame and fortune”.  And there is no better place to take that shot than by winning your PokerStars WSOP package in the biggest online qualifier to be found.

But if you happen to miss the $370 Mega Satellite, don’t worry because you can jump in the daily FreeRolls which give you a shot at winning your chair in the World Series for FREE! Until June 20th, every day there will be 14 quadruple shootout FreeRoll tournaments on PokerStars which will award 10 players a ticket to play in the Weekly Final. The Weekly Final takes place every Sunday at 19:00 ET.  Each of the Weekly Final winners will receive a World Series Main Event package worth $12,000!

So what are you waiting for? Time is running out! Get to the PokerStars lobby and look under the Events, then WSOP tab to find your way to your Main Event seat today!
