From having an excellent relationship with WSOP organisers Harrahs,
Betfair Poker can offer one of the best packages on the net to the
2008 Main Event. Two seats per week are up for grabs in the Sunday Final,
with daily satellites from as little as $5.50 to satisfy all bankrolls.

Since Jamie Gold's Main Event victory in 2006, Bodog has seen increased
publicity for its WSOP Qualification. Main Event packages are available

Ladbrokes WSOP Main Event packages are boosted by the fact that accommodation
and expenses at the Rio (where the tournament is held) are inclusive.

There are the standard low buy-in satellites with a weekly final.
Phil Hellmuth will be leading Ultimate Bets charge for the WSOP,
and with satellites starting at $5, you may be able to join him.
The WSOP finals arent as frequent as its rivals, however, so make sure
you act quickly. One of the perks of qualifying on Ultimate Bet
is to have a Main Event grand entrance with the Poker Brat himself.
Is this meant to entice people to play on the site?
