The first episode of PokerRoad's newest podcast, PokerStars WCOOP Radio 2009, was unleashed unto the world yesterday and was littered with surprising announcements which instantly made it a must listen for any serious online poker player.

Not only did the first episode of this new Scott Huff produced podcast feature strategy tips from multiple bracelet winner Barry Greenstein, as well as breaking news on the upcoming PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker that can't be found anywhere else, it also announced a series of PokerStars WCOOP Radio freerolls, available only to the listeners of the show.

The first in apparently a series of these free tournaments for WCOOP Radio listeners begins tomorrow, August 15th, at 14:30 p.m. EST.  The tournament (WCOOP Radio 2009- Freeroll 1) can be found on PokerStars of course, the biggest poker room on the planet, under the "Private" tab in the "Tourney" section. 

The top prizes for this first freeroll will be ten $27 tickets into the new WCOOP Extreme satellites, which have already begun running on PokerStars and are themselves packed with value and added money.

To enter the PokerStars WCOOP Radio 2009 Freeroll players will need an exclusive password given out sometime during the show, which should guarantee that only fans and listeners will know to enter the word "extreme" when prompted by the PokerStars software (dang, I kind of gave that first one away).

Given this show just came out yesterday, and that the password protected freeroll is already tomorrow, any fan's chances of winning one of these ten prizes is pretty ridiculous (seriously, I just signed up myself). 

This is basically free money people, get in on this now, before this show becomes the breakaway hit it seems to have the definite potential to become.
