Ya’ think you have what it takes to bring home the WSOP bracelet? Read this.

UltimateBet.com just announced that they will hand out a large number of seats for the 2008 World Series of Poker main event, FOR FREE. You read it people, it’s for free. This will probably give ya’ll a reason to get your ass off the couch fantasizing about Maria Sharapova while nursing a nasty wrist injury.

Organizers of this promotion are hoping that it will make UltimateBet.com the best online poker room in the internet where you can win free seats to the biggest poker tournament of the year.

‘’This is an historic promotion for fans of the world’s greatest game,'’ stated UltimateBet spokesperson George MacLean. ‘’We’re handing out loads of Main Event seats and online poker fans can win one just by doing what they love, playing poker.'’

Professional poker player, Annie Duke, created the Ultimate Main Event Giveaway promotion so that more online poker players can experience competitive Texas Hold’em poker on the world’s biggest poker tournament with the best players in the world.

Annie Duke is the new Cardroom Consultant for UltimateBet.

To qualify for the promotion, UltimateBet players must simply play in any real-money poker Sit ‘n Go, ring game or multi-table tournament at UltimateBet.com between April 24th and May 23rd and climb their way up the Main Event Giveaway leader board.

At the end of the qualifying period, the player who has earned the most RAI$E status points will automatically secure a $12,000 Main Event prize package featuring the $10,000 buy-in and $2,000 for travel accommodations. But that’s just the start of UltimateBet’s Main Event generosity. Players ranking 2nd through 70th on the leader board will play in an exclusive freeroll that features a prize pool of seven additional $12,000 Main Event packages.

Ain’t that something?
