While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.

Royal Flush Beats Musumeci

[user217354]

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Amanda Musumeci moved her shorter stack all in. An opponent a few seats down shipped his stack all in. The others folded and Musumeci and her opponent turned their hands over.

Musumeci:
Opponent:

The flop came giving Musumeci's opponent a flopped set and put Musumeci in a big hole.

There was some hope on the turn when it came the . An ace or a queen would give Musumeci a winning full house.

The river, the put a straight on the board but Musumeci's opponent held the for the rivered Royal Flush!

Musumeci exited and her opponent was so excited. He told the table that was his first Royal ever and it was a great way to win one!

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The clock says 260 players are left, but only 198 of them will be in the money. With 75 minutes left in the night, it looks like we will be on pace to hit the money tonight, but the eliminations could very well slow down in the final level.
