AOL to Award Six WSOP Seats

Free on AOL's games.com

For the third year in a row, America Online, the country's leading internet service provider, has joined with Harrah's Entertainment to award seats to the WSOP Main Event through AOL's Games.com service. Having begun on May 4 and now running through June 15, players can compete in free, daily qualifying tournaments, with a total of six Main Event seats up for grabs. At the end of each week, the daily qualifiers will compete in a Sunday winner-take-all tournament. The winner of each weekly tournament will receive not only an entry into the $10,000 buy-in Main Event to be held on July 3, 2008, but also travel accommodations from anywhere within the U.S. to Las Vegas.

"Free-play online poker continues to be one of our most popular categories on Games.com," according to Greg Mills, Director of AOL Games. "We are thrilled to continue our exclusive agreement with Harrah's License Company LLC, the owner of the World Series of Poker, to provide a chance for users to win a poker player's dream come true -- a seat at the table with poker professionals. And if they play their cards right, they could walk away with millions."
