Wednesday 15th March 2006 Betfair Poker Pick up $1 million WSOP Tab
It’s fast becoming the number one place to qualify for the World Series of Poker but Betfair Poker isn’t happy with this alone. Offering an unlimited number of seats for the event Betfair Poker is working hard to maintain its philosophy of bringing more to the table.
In last year’s event the WSOP top prize was a huge $7.5m and nine players took home over a million dollars each. This is a dramatic shift from five years ago when the main event winner took home $1.5 million and this upward trend is set to continue with another bumper year expected in 2006.
Betfair’s Head of Poker, Ben Fried, said, “We expect to spend over $1 million sending players to the World Series. With offers like the Threedom Pass, we have added value to the proposition.”
The Threedom Pass offers members of Team Betfair Poker the opportunity to return to poker tournaments for free for three years if they make the final table. At the WSOP the Threedom Pass will be worth $45,000.
