Greg Raymer took home $5m by winning the 2004 WSOP Main Event and he’s ready to share the secrets of his success with one reader. Are you ready for the freeroll that will change your life forever?

We’ve teamed up with PokerStars to bring you an unmissable freeroll series, featuring our biggest prize to date. Each month, for the next six months, we’ll have an exclusive freeroll, with a $1,000 prize pool to be split between the top 10 percent. In addition to the cash, the winner of each qualifier will progress to a deep-stack six-handed Grand Final, where, in addition to a $2,500 prize pool, you’ll have the chance to win the ultimate poker prize: money-can’t-buy training from Greg Raymer and a $10,000 bankroll.

If you win the Grand Final you can choose what discipline you want to be trained in – cash play or tournaments – and your bankroll will be fed to you over six months, during which time you’ll get personal tuition from the 2004 WSOP World Champion Greg Raymer.

And you’ll become an instant star. We’ll follow your progress over the six months in a regular two-page feature in the magazine. You’ll get the chance to speak to the nation via your own personal blog and we’ll chart the highs and lows of your new poker career with the help of your professional mentor.
