For the sixth consecutive year, 888Poker is delighted to return as a primary backer of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Commencing on May 26th at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the poker hub of Las Vegas, the tournament will once more be aired globally, with ESPN and PokerGo furnishing broadcasting.
However, the excitement begins well in advance! 888Poker is providing players beyond the US the opportunity to secure their spot in Vegas through a sequence of online competitions and offers, encompassing their signature multi-phase qualifiers. Each weekend from February 23rd to June 14th, a lucky participant will claim a $15,000 WSOP package, which consists of a $10,000 entry in the Main Event, an $888 seat in the Crazy Eights side event, along with travel and lodging.
The preceding year’s WSOP was the most substantial to date, with an unprecedented 187,298 participants vying for a prize pool nearing $300 million.
“We are thrilled to be back as a supporter of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas for the sixth year running,” stated Guy Cohen, SVP, Head of B2C at 888 Holdings. “As a testament to our dedication to making poker more attainable and exhilarating for our patrons, we take pride in being a longstanding associate of the WSOP, the planet’s grandest and most esteemed poker series. Through this partnership, our players will qualify directly from 888poker for poker’s most legendary tournament.”
