Poker's arrived, it's big and now's your golden opportunity to
join to the newest online phenomenon.
Chris Moneymaker, last year's winner of the World Series of Poker,
spent only $ 40 on an online qualifier and ended up going home
with $ 2.5 million.
Wherever you chose to play
online poker, you'll come across plenty of tournaments offering
qualifiying opportunities to go to the home of Poker - Las Vegas.
It's the same at Betfred - play in a certain tournaments, qualify
for the final tables and take a shot and playing in the most famous
poker event in the world.
Betfredpoker.com is giving away $ 50,000 every month in free
to play tournaments, known in the business as freerolls, where
you simply have to register and put your name down.
Stephen Hendry, who's trying to make his mark on the green baize
of poker tables rather than snooker tables, is a man who loves
to play a game of poker when he gets the chance.
As a Betfred Poker player, Stephen will be playing in an online
tournament once a month where he's really up against it.
The tournament is free to enter, with a prize pool of $ 5000,
and there's an added bonus.
If you find yourself sitting on the same table as Stephen and
have the hand that knocks him out, you'll take home a $ 1000 bounty.
Looks like the pressure will be on for the talented Scot, as
players will be going all out to knock him out of the tournament
and claim a celebrity scalp
