Go to the WSOP in style

Serious Poker players can take on the challenge of the World Series of Poker in style, with Ladbrokes Poker’s superb WSOP packages.

Ladbrokes was represented by 42 players in the 2005 WSOP, with four of them acheiving money finishes, including the UK’s top finisher, Conor ‘Sealey’ Taye, who bagged a cool $600,000 for finishing 12th.

In 2006, Ladbrokes are hoping to go one better and get a ‘Team Ladbrokes’ player onto the final table, guaranteeing the player a minimum payday of $1million. In order to help acheive this, Ladbrokes Poker are offering a superb WSOP package for European players.

There are 100 Ladbrokes WSOP packages available, and are on offer exclusively for online players at ladbrokespoker.com. Packages cost $15,000, which give the player $12,500 worth of WSOP buy-ins, $2,500 in expenses, and $3,000 of free accommodation at the 2006 WSOP’s host casino, the Rio.

Go to Vegas in style

Once you’ve won your way through to Vegas, you’ll have a non-stop rollercoster ride of entertainment and poker competition. You’ll arrive in Vegas on Saturday July 22nd, and take in the sights and sounds of Vegas before enjoying a specially-held Welcome Party and a warm-up tournament before they shuffle up and deal the first cards of the Main Event on Friday 28th.

Then it’s you against the world as you take part in the biggest poker event in the world, the WSOP Main Event. If you’ve made it through to the second week and are still in the mix, you’re almost certainly going to be in the money – and then it’s the stuff of dreams as 1,400 players are whittled down to the final nine, and the final table.

Could YOU be one of those nine players? It’s a long way from your PC to the final table in Vegas, but others have made the journey and gone on to win the big one. Could you be the next success story?
