Whilst the World Series blazes it’s way through June with the history books open and ready for new names to be entered it’s worth remembering that even the best players, even world champions, began their poker careers somewhere, many in freerolls which helped shape their skills. There are few better places to do just that than the PokerStars Weekly Round 2 events.

Qualifying for one of the two weekly events is simple. All you need to do is play in one of the Astronomer freerolls shown in the PokerStars.net lobby and finish within the number of tables specified. They astronomer freerolls run several times a day so there’s never long to wait and if you’re successful your ticket into the Weekly Round 2 could see you win a cash prize.

This week that honour went to several hundred players notably the two winners, “dreamender” on Saturday and “stagmatta55” on Sunday. As you can see hundreds of players finish in the money making this a great value event – just ask “2TONTOM” and “Jerebear57” who each snuck in under the bubble.
