For the sixth consecutive year, 888Poker returns as the primary backer of the World Series of Poker, frequently called the WSOP by poker aficionados.
Commencing on May 26th at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in vibrant Las Vegas, this year’s competition is anticipated to be grander than ever before. Poker devotees globally can follow all the excitement online and on television via ESPN and PokerGo.
However, you needn’t be a mere observer! 888Poker is hosting a series of online qualifying rounds and special offers, granting players beyond the US an opportunity to secure a spot at the WSOP. These satellite competitions are an excellent method to participate in the action without spending a fortune.
Starting February 23rd and continuing until June 14th, participants can vie for a $15,000 WSOP package, a prize any poker player would covet. This sought-after package encompasses a $10,000 buy-in to the main WSOP event, an $888 ticket to the thrilling Crazy 8’s side event, along with travel and lodging costs.
The previous year’s WSOP was historic, drawing an impressive 187,298 players and distributing a remarkable $293 million in winnings – the largest sum in its 50-year existence.
Guy Cohen, the Senior VP of 888 Holdings B2C, expressed his enthusiasm, remarking, “We’re delighted to sponsor the WSOP once more. Our aim is to make poker more approachable and engaging, and this collaboration exemplifies that. The WSOP represents the peak of the poker realm, and we’re honored to provide our players direct entry to this legendary event.”
