Poker Stars had a smash hit success with The Big Game, a cash game that was televised with high stakes and an amateur player called the Loose Cannon drawn from the ranks of their free money players getting the chance to take on the pros.

The series was so successful over the first few times that it was run that Poker Stars has decided to continue with it for another iteration. That means that the chips will be flying fast and furious once again and it also means that Poker Stars will be going through another round of selections for their next Loose Cannon.

One interesting part about this set of qualification conditions is that it actually gives free money players at PokerStars.Net the chance to actually come through the field and get into a real event with huge cash prizes. Most freeroll tournaments aimed at this crowd don’t lead to large prizes until well down the road but all a player has to do in order to make it onto The Big Game is win a few rounds of poker and submit an audition video to the website.

Poker Stars will give players ample opportunity to actually get into the audition stage with freeroll tournaments running throughout the 2011 calendar year. Any player finishing in the top 300 in round 1 goes through to the second round. The top 1000 from this make it to the third and final round where the top 200 get the chance to submit an audition video for consideration. This is what players will have to do to navigate their way to the television show, but the reward for getting there is quite great.

Loose Cannons on The Big Game are given the chance to play with $100,000 of money courtesy of Poker Stars. They have the chance to lose it all or they have the chance to post a few wins. Any money above that amount won by the Loose Cannon at the end of the session becomes their winnings for the game. It is a great way for someone to quickly make a decent amount of money.
