A $100 Million Mega Freeroll!

We are proud to announce a $500,000 Guaranteed
Prize Freeroll Tournament. This special Freeroll will feature:

$500,000 in Guaranteed Prizes.
A $100 Million Jackpot, which could be won in a single hand of poker.
7 additional Jackpot hands, offering players a chance to win millions more.
Free entry to all qualified Noble Poker players.

FIVE CARDS HAVE NEVER BEEN WORTH MORE
Noble Poker is staging THE WORLD'S MOST EXCITING FREEROLL. In addition to the $500,000 in Guaranteed Prizes at this tournament, one player has the chance of going home with the largest prize ever awarded in any sport - $100,000,000! And it all depends on the five cards that player is holding.

The $100,000,000 Jackpot Prize is re-insured by National Indemnity Company, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRKA) – one of the world's biggest insurance companies. With such a secure backing for this unprecedented prize, you can rest assured that payment will be paid if any player holds the qualifying five cards.

One amazing tournament + one final table in a secret location + one Royal Flush of Spades = $100,000,000!

And you can get a chance to play this amazing tournament – ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Noble Poker will host two Daily Freeroll Qualifiers awarding five seats each at our upcoming $500,000 Online Final Freeroll, which will be staged on Saturday, April 30, 2006. When the Online Final Freeroll narrows down to ten final players, the action will be suspended. The Final Table will be held in a secret location in May, 2006, and it will be at this amazing Final Table that one player will have the chance to win the $100,000,000 Hand.

How can a player win the $100,000,000 prize?
During the Final Table action, if one of the players will hit a Royal Flush of Spades, he will win the $100,000,000 Grand Prize! And that's not all…if any player comes close to hitting the Royal Flush, he'll also go home a millionaire!

The additional Jackpot Prizes at the Final Table are:
