Event number 1 will be played today, the traditional Casino Employee No-Limit Event with a buy-in of $500.00. Over the course of the next month there will be a new event every day with a World Series Of Poker bracelet and some big prize money on the line.
It is certainly not to late to qualify for the Main Event, and you can win your seat online at a variety of poker rooms. Our senior editor at the Insider, Marc, won his seat in a freeroll tournament on Friday at Doylesroom.com, so it can happen!
He will send us a World Series Of Poker blog live from the trenches of the main event next month, so stay right here for the latest WSOP results and all the World Series Of Poker news and gossip.
