PokerStarsBlog.net :: Weekly Round 2 http://www.pokerstarsblog.net/ Poker blog offering poker news and stories from the tables of PokerStars.net. en Copyright 2011 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:41:38 +0000 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification WR2: Here's the deal... Welcome to another week of weekly round two results, the biggest tournament of its type anywhere online that can help turn you into the player you want to be. How so? Well, the WR2 is a freeroll tournament (that's a free buy-in) but with a prize pool making for a standard first prize of $276. Better than that each event typically pays 800 players, so there's something for everybody.

To start playing these weekend events start by winning a ticket in one of the many "astronomer" freerolls shown in the PokerStars.net lobby. They're easy to spot, being named after famous astronomers like Hubble and Sagan. Then, finish within the final number of tables detailed on the registration page, and you're in. How's that for straightforward?

This week's winners hailed from two corners of the planet. "Tcorn6" from the United States triumphed in Saturday's event while "Evgeniy8484" from Russia did the same on Saturday.

Qualifying for weekly round two events is simple. Just play in one of the freerolls scheduled in the PokerStars.net lobby and finish within the top number of tables, as specified in the tournament information. The freerolls are named after famous astronomical figures such as Hubble, Copernicus and Sagan so are easy to spot and they run several times each day. There’s always another coming soon if you miss out the first time.

Good luck!
