How to Qualify

All our players in the USA and Canada can play in the free-to-enter Big Game Round 1 qualifiers running four times a day, from January 31-December 31, 2011. The top 300 players from each will go through to Round 2. Finish in the top 1,000 there and next stop will be the finals.

If you then finish in the top 200 in a Big Game Final Round qualifier, you’ll be invited to send in a casting video, explaining why you think you should be on The PokerStars.net Big Game as a Loose Cannon. Impress us and you’ll be going to Las Vegas to face-off against the biggest names in poker - like Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso and more.

Getting there is going to be a battle, but that’s because we only want the best players. This is your chance to prove you have the patience, desire, and skill to hold your own and be tested to the max. You could stand to win thousands if you play well enough – and it won’t cost you a penny to play.

To find The Big Game Round 1 qualifiers, open the PokerStars lobby, click ‘Tourney’ & ‘Regional’, and then look for tournaments listed as ‘Big Game’.

Make it as a Loose Cannon and we’ll buy you into the game for the minimum buy-in of $100,000 -and you’ll get to keep whatever profit you make above this amount.

The PokerStars.net Big Game is the most exciting thing to happen to televised poker in years. It’s a true test of poker skill and the chance of a lifetime.

Practice your cash game skills

Although the Big Game qualifiers are played as a tournament, you’ll need to have your cash game head on when you get to Las Vegas, so why not get some practice at our ring game tables while you try to qualify. If you’ve never played ring games before or you don’t play them enough, then there’s no better reason to start playing them!
