Book a flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia, and it will cost about $2,000 per person, round trip. Full Tilt Poker is sending as many couples there as it can for as little as $4.40.

Qualifiers to the Aussie Millions Poker Championship are still taking pace at Full Tilt Poker, one of the handful of sites that has vowed to keep serving U.S. customers despite the approval of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act. The prize packages to this event are a hefty $18,000, and include round-trip airfare for two to Melbourne from Los Angeles, entry into the AMPC, 10-night stay at the Crown Casino Resort, and $3,000 spending money. The trip takes place Jan. 8-20.

And there will be players in the tournament who got there for less than what it costs for a Fatburger value meal, minus the fried egg. There will also be at least 28 players who will have got into the AMPC through freerolls.

Full Tilt already awarded 14 seats specifically through its freerolls, and will award 14 more in November and December. Players can use their Full Tilt Points to get into the monthly freerolls. Players can also qualify by earning 10,000 FTP in one month or be in the top 25 of the Aussie Millions multi-table qualifier leader board or the sit-and-go leader board. See the site for more details.

There are still plenty of ways to get in for people who prefer the cash path. On Dec. 10, Full Tilt will hold its 20-seat guarantee tournament that costs $535 to enter, but of course, there are cheaper ways into this satellite.

Players can qualify several ways: Direct multi-table qualifiers into the $535 tourney cost $8.80, $26, and $75. Players can also play a $75 sit-and-go into this tourney. Players can get into these qualifying tournaments for as little as $4.40, $8.80, or $12.

People are also winning their ways to Australia each week in direct qualifiers that cost $322 and $1,060. The $1,060 weekly qualifiers have been taking place on Mondays, and the $322 qualifiers on Thursdays.

Players can get into the $322 qualifiers by entering multi-table tournaments that cost $8.80, $26, or $75, and single-table tourneys for $48. Feeders to these tournaments run around the clock and also cost as little as $4.40.

To get into the $1,060 direct qualifier, players can play in any of these tourneys: $26, $75, or $109 multi-tables, $75 and $150 single-tables, and both single and multi-table freerolls. Qualifiers for these tournament also cost much less than the actual purchase price.
