[B]PokerStars is kicking off an eight-week-long promotion called the [/B][I][URL="http://www.pokerstars.com/summergames"][COLOR=#0000ff]Summer Games[/COLOR][/URL] [/I]that pits Canadians vs. Americans in a fight to snag some of the more than 80,000 cash prizes to be given away and seats in the $100,000 final, and it started Friday, Aug. 22.
 
Each week features a different poker variation, and players get one free round-one entry for each week's poker variant. Each country has a separate set of tournaments, and the free entry can be used for any of the round-one [I]Summer Games [/I]tournaments running during that week for the player's home country.
 
Those who finish well enough in the round-one event move on to that week's round-two final, and the weekly finals send five players from each country to the $100,000 main event. Then, the next week, players can try their hands at a different poker variation with another free round-one entry.
 
The round-one and round-two events aren't just qualifiers, though; plenty of cash prizes are being awarded in each tournament.
