Winners in our "Main Event Mania"™ events are piling up faster than chips in front of Phil Ivey at a final table

 Hi Tilters,
Winners in our "Main Event Mania"™ events are piling up faster than chips in front of Phil Ivey at a final table, and we don't see any indication that things are going to slow down anytime soon.
Players like stockman27 and Bubblehead have already won entries into the World Series of Poker Main Event, and more than 30 people have already earned 10K FullTiltPoker.net Points and automatic entry into our $120,000 VIP 10 Seat Main Event Freeroll. Couple that with the fact that pucky won 10% of Jennifer Harman at the WSOP Main Event, and it's easy to see that "Main Event Mania"™ is in full swing.
If you want to share in the excitement, and be eligible to take home an additional $10 Million by winning the World Series of Poker Main Event after qualifying at FullTiltPoker.net Poker, make sure you check out the great events taking place over the next week.
So, pucky, how does it feel to know you'll be pocketing 10% of Jennifer Harman's winnings at the World Series of Poker Main Event? Pretty good, huh? And DeeGee21, you're pleased with your 10% of John Juanda, right?
If you want the satisfaction of knowing that you'll take home 10% of what pros like Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson win at the WSOP Main Event, simply sign up for one of our weekly
$100 + $9 "Pieces of the Pros"™ tournaments. Daily sit & go, and multi-table satellites start for as little as $14 + $1.
This Saturday, don't miss your one and only chance to get 10% of whatever Erick Lindgren wins at the Big Dance. Finish between 2nd and 9th, and you'll get 1% of Erick's winnings. Currently the third ranked tournament player according to Card Player, Erick is on fire with three top-ten finishes this year, including a victory at the L.A. Poker Classic.
With a chance to take home as much as $1 Million without ever posting a blind in the Main Event, why would you play anywhere else?
If you want to win a seat at the biggest online WSOP Main Event seat guarantee tournament ever, don't waste any time in signing up for one of our daily satellites. For as little as $4 + $.40, you can secure an entry into our WSOP Main Event 30 Seat Guarantee tournament on June 19th. Be at least one of the top 30 finishers and you'll win an amazing prize package including an entry into the WSOP Main Event.
If you think earning 10,000 FullTiltPoker.net Points by June 10th is too high a hurdle to clear, then you should talk to Paul Wolfe who accomplished the feat in less than 24 hours. Talk about dedication. Paul is far from the only player busily racking up the points. stockman27 and idominate have each broken the 20,000 point mark, and 2Nefarious4U has well over 30,000 points thus far.
If you want to give these players a run for their money, and earn an automatic entry into our $120,000 VIP 10 Seat Main Event Freeroll, just start playing at our real money tables. Earn 10,000 FullTiltPoker.net Points by midnight on June 10th, and you'll get to play in the biggest Freeroll tournament in the history of online poker.
Be at least one of the top 10 finishers there, and we'll send you to the WSOP Main Event for free.

 All poker, all the time

EAGLE COUNTY - The popularity of poker is rapidly increasing locally as well as nationally. Its popularity is fueled by a combination of television exposure, technology, and the opportunity to win big money and/or prizes.
Local bars and restaurants are hosting regularly scheduled free poker tournaments to help draw in more business. Cable channels such as ESPN and the Travel Channel showcase the extremely popular World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.
In addition, television advertisements for online poker rooms are on the rise.
The most popular flavor of poker is Texas No Limit Hold ''em. In a No Limit Hold ''em, a player can go "all in" and bet all of their chips on any given hand, which adds a great deal of excitement to the game.
As opposed to other gambling games such as blackjack, poker is a game that is dictated and controlled by the participants. Poker players can control the game by bluffing, being very aggressive, or by playing a very tight conservative style.
Today's cutting-edge technology and high-speed Internet access provide a gateway for millions of diehards to play poker 24-7 at one of the many poker sites on the web such as PartyPoker.com, Pokerstars.com, AbsolutePoker.com, and Fulltiltpoker.com.
Most online poker rooms offer free games with play money, as well as real money games. Many online poker rooms feature satellite tournaments that give players an opportunity to win seats at World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour events.
To put the popularity of online poker in perspective, during peak hours, www.partypoker.com can have over 50,000 participants playing on over 5,000 tables on any given day.
All of these online poker sites are based offshore, due to the gambling laws in the United States. Popular poker sites are estimated to be making over $100 million in profits each year.
