The last in a series of four tournaments offering World Series of Poker packages takes place tomorrow evening at 8:30 p.m. GMT on Virgin Poker. The company is offering one guaranteed €10,500 package, which includes a $10,000 (€7,000) main-event seat, €1,500 spending money, return Virgin Atlantic flight from London Gatwick to Las Vegas, and hotel accommodation.
Joe Legge, poker manager for Virgin Poker, said, “Virgin Poker is the only poker room in the world that has its own airline and holiday company, so it made perfect sense to offer our players the chance to win the ultimate poker package for this year’s World Series. With costs often spiraling out of control to attend the biggest and best poker tournaments around the world, we wanted to give our players the opportunity to spend all of their winnings on simply enjoying themselves. We are proud to be the only poker room that can offer this exciting opportunity.”
The company is running a series of guaranteed WSOP satellites during and May, with each tri-weekly €275 final offering one guaranteed package, as well as one package for every 34 entrants in the tournament.
Daily freezeout satellites are at 8:30 p.m. GMT and have buy-ins of €25+€2.50, while each Saturday and Sunday there is a €10+€1 rebuy at 5 p.m. GMT. There will be one WSOP final seat for every €250 generated in the prize pool, and one seat to the final will be guaranteed.
Legge pointed out that the promotion was likely to be great value for players. “Virgin Poker’s a comparatively small site, meaning there is likely to be overlay in most of the daily satellites and finals. Add this to the extra €2,000 worth of free flights and accommodation, and our WSOP promotion offers huge value for anyone attempting to get to the World Series this summer.”
