Pacific giving WPC seats to PL.com players
The freerolls will run weekly, and all that's required to qualify is to have signed up at Pacific Poker through PokerListings.com and then collect five points during the qualifying period each week.
The first qualifying period starts Sunday and will run through March 9. Players who collect five points during that time will be invited to play in the March 12 freeroll.
The full freeroll schedule is:
- March 12: Collect 5 points from March 2-9 to play
- March 19: Collect 5 points from March 9-16 to play
- March 26: Collect 5 points from March 16-23 to play
- April 2: Collect 5 points from March 23-30 to play
- April 9: Collect 5 points from March 30-April 6 to play
- April 16: Collect 5 points from April 6-13 to play
All the freerolls start at 8 p.m. (GMT).
The seat in the WPC is worth $1,000+$50, but it could potentially be worth much more than that. The WPC has a guaranteed $3 million prize pool, plus it could include a trip to Barcelona.
The main part of the WPC will play out online, but when play gets down to 10, those players will be flown to Barcelona to finish the game live.
The players, along with one guest each, will be given free transportation from anywhere in the world to Barcelona, as well as five-star hotel accommodation for the duration of the final event, which will take place May 6-10.
The event will also be filmed to air on Sky Sports 2 on May 12.
