PokerStars World Series 2009

Ready to be the next Champion?

The WSOP Main Event is the one that every player wants to win. The event where dreams become a reality, and fortunes can be made on the turn of a card. In addition to Eastgate’s success, there were also huge cash finishes last year for Team PokerStars Pros Ivan Demidov ($5,809,595), Dennis Phillips ($4,517,773) and Ylon Schwartz ($3,774,974), and Friend of PokerStars Darus Suharto ($2,418,562). Win a prize package and you could follow in their footsteps and become the next star of poker.

The Main Event is a tournament rich in history, and over the years it’s been a memorable competition for PokerStars qualifiers and Team PokerStars Pro alike. We qualify more players to the Main Event than all other poker sites combined - more than 2,000 in 2008 - and it’s business as usual for 2009. This means that for just a few dollars, you could be on your way to earning a multi-million dollar payday.

To help you on your way to Vegas, Poker Stars asked some important people to provide some advice on how to win your seat and survive the Main Event! Check out our Strategy page where Team PokerStars Pro pass on some invaluable tips - and they should know, with 17 bracelets between them.

The 2009 prize package includes your $10,000 Main Event buy-in, hotel accommodation at The Palms and $1,000 for expenses. This gives you everything you need to live the Las Vegas lifestyle, and prepare in style to play at the most prestigious live event of the year.
