Since most of us here have an account on Poker Stars and knowing that many of you have your own blog, thought I 'd pass along news of a FREEROLL tourney that Poker Stars is sponsoring.

If you register with Poker Stars at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/blog_tournament/

You will be given a piece of code to put on your blog site. Once they see that posted on your blog site you will be automatically entered into their freeroll tourney on October 23rd.

Here is a snippet on what prizes you can win:
Online Poker Blogger Championship
October 23rd, 2005 – 4:00pm EST / 1:00pm PST

PokerStars is proud to announce the inaugural PokerStars Online Poker Blogger Championship! This is an exclusive FREE poker tournament open ONLY to Internet bloggers. At PokerStars, we know the power of the Internet. We know poker is not a passing fad. We know blogging is the new medium and it's not going anywhere. That's why PokerStars was the first online poker site to launch a fulltime Official PokerStars blog for its players.

How serious are we? We're going to give the winning blogger a $12,000 package to the 2006 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure - a World Poker Tour Event! This package includes a $8,000 buy-in to the event, hotel accomodation and additional spending money. You'll certainly have a lot to blog about when you're playing poker in the distant Caribbean islands with a shot at being on TV and winning over a million dollars. Not only that, we let our prize guys run with the ball, the result of which is thousands of dollars in cool new prizes.

We know the blogging community is as tight-knit as it is large, just like the PokerStars community. The Online Poker Blogger Championship will hope to bring these communities together - and the stakes aren't small.

They are also giving away iPods, XBox360s, and 24" Dell Flatscreen monitors!!! You must have had a blog with at least two months worth of entries to qualify. This is going to be a fun free tourney!!

Anyone else already signed up for it???

Bah I'd love to but I'll be on a plane. I'll be on my way to Vegas though to that will console me

For my birthday my wife and mom conspired secretly to surprise me with a trip and I had no idea.

Good luck to all you other bloggers though. I'm rooting for you Chipper!

You don't get in trouble but unless you put that on your blog you won't get verified.

So did anyone play?

I was signed up but did not get to play due to the fact I was invited to the Redskins game with 50 yard line suite tickets and the were SWEET.

I ended up 409 or 490 without playing. I wish I could have played.
