There is NO Direct entry into the $1,000,000 main event. Players MUST win their seat into the main event through one of our FREE daily heats. Starting July 1st and running through to August 26th, we'll be running three heats every day. Each heat will be titled "FreeMillion" and will be FREE to enter for your first attempt. You can find these tournaments listed under the Million Tab in our Tournament Lobby.

Ken, Thanks for posting this information. I think I saw an ad on TV about this on one of the poker shows. I guess it is legit, but I hadn't taken the time to check it out yet. From what I see, it looks like you get one shot at the free roll, but then you have to earn points based on cash play to get other chances to enter. Is there any information on which days and times are better for taking a shot at this? Do they all fill up? Since it is an elimination, any ideas on how long it would take to get to the final table(s) in a heat to win a seat to the main event? Seems like the 1am slot is the best to try for since it has more players advancing, but it might be the one that has more players. Plus you would have to probably play all night to get to the end, so if you worked the next day you would have to call in sick... If my math is right, there will be 3,420 players playing for the 10 seats in the finals.
free-roll I played at 4 pm. eastern........1323 total players....finished in 72nd place..... it started really slow at the first table.....but picked up after a while....after 3 hours...they are down to 40 players....I'll try to watch when it ends
free-roll it took 3:55 to get to the 10 winners......the next one is at 9 pm eastern.....700 signed up so far....another at 1 am E. good luck
Thanks Swog Thanks for the info Swog. I am wondering if they have the time spaced out like they do because they figure a max of four to five hours to finish a heat? I haven't registered yet or checked out their site, but if anyone else has insight on how things go, please let me know. Don't most sites keep histories of games online for a while? That would probably tell you something if it were available.
