The 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event is right around the corner, and the World Series of Poker Academy is ready to help players gain an extra edge with its Main Event Primer.

The three-day event, to be held this June 29 - July 1 at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, is designed to prepare aspiring Main Event competitors for the kind of super-sized fields the tournament has become known for in the last few years. The all-star team of instructors features former WSOP Main Event champions Phil Hellmuth and Greg Raymer, WSOP bracelet winners Annie Duke and Mark Seif, WPT title winner Phil Gordon, FBI counter-terrorism and poker tells expert Joe Navarro, and noted poker pro and instructor Alex Outhred.

“Like the WSOP Main Event itself, our Main Event Primer only comes around once a year and is unrivaled in its level of instruction as well as the interaction participants have with the biggest names in poker,” said Brandon Rosen of Post Oak Productions, the company that produces the WSOP Academy. “It truly is a unique opportunity to learn optimal strategy from the pros who have won it all.”

The three-day Main Event Primer will drill attendees with question-and-answer seminars, WSOP tournament footage video analysis, and live demonstrations with a focus of advanced No Limit Hold’em tournament strategy. Among the topics covered will be advanced poker mathematics, late-stage tournament strategy, pre-flop and post-flop strategy, table dynamics, intimidation and control of your opponents, and heads-up strategy. There will also be a special seminar with Joe Navarro on decoding poker tells.

Main Event Primer participants will also get the chance to compete in two private poker tournaments, with the winner of each going on to compete for a World Series Of Poker Main Event seat at the WSOP Academy Tournament of Champions, held on July 1.

A seat in the WSOP Academy Main Event Primer will set players back $2,499. Space is limited, and the event is expected sell out. Additional details for the Main Event Primer and all other Academy events are available at www.wsopacademy.com.
