  2. Ladbrokes Offer 'Vegas Dream' Packages A very different offering from Ladbrokes Poker this year for the WSOP, one which might catch on. Rather than offering a main event seat plus expenses to the World Series this year, the top UK poker room are instead offering a unique and much more robust $5000 Vegas Dream Package, which consists of: 1. Seven nights accommodation at Caesars Palace, las Vegas 2. $2,000 expenses 3. Vegas Dream Satellite Bankroll to play three Main Event Satellites in Vegas for 20 Main Event seats1 - 2 of which are exclusive to Ladbrokes Vegas Dream package holders 4. VIP status in the hottest nightclubs in Vegas 5. Legendary Ladbrokes Poker hospitality The decision to offer 'Vegas Dream' packages instead of a straight Main Event package, was taken after a Ladbrokes review which identified that the vast majority of WSOP qualifiers leave Vegas each year disappointed. The reality is that only 10% of players actually cash in the Main Event although the majority put in a lot of hours to come away with nothing. Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: "Our goal this year is to deliver the 'Vegas Dream' to as many of our poker players as possible. Las Vegas is about more than just playing in the WSOP Main Event, there are so many other things to see, do and enjoy. We think we've got the balance just right – our customers will have a great time in Vegas courtesy of us and still have a chance to play live poker against other Laddies players to win one of our Main Event seats. If they win a seat into the Main Event, they can choose to take home the $10,000 or take a long shot at the big one." This brave new move might get some detraction to begin with, but we are really coming round to the idea. There is so much more to Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker, there are smaller festivals and juicy cash games, as well as shows, fine dining, shopping and nonstop partying. This package is a much better option for anyone wishing to actually have an actual holiday in the Las Vegas sun or sample the real Vegas beyond the main event, while at the same time still offering you three great shots at a main event package (or indeed the cash). You can win your package the following ways: Step 1 - Daily Satellites The $6 daily satellite will see one player qualify for the daily final for every $60 in the prizepool One in six players will make it through to the daily final in the $10 rebuy. Step 2 - Daily Final One person for every $550 in the daily finals prize pool will qualify through to the weekly final Step 3 - Weekly final One in ten players in the $550 weekly final will win a Ladbrokes Poker Vegas Dream package.

  3. Gala Coral British Poker Tour Cancelled, GUKPT Student Championships Announced button1-bm.gif 2009-01-30 Barry Carter 4982fa91c840c.jpg Gala Coral British Poker Tour Cancelled We are yet to hear an official announcement, but it appears that after much speculation that the tour would be starting again in 2009, the GCBPT has been cancelled. The reasons appear to have been a Commercial decision has been made to stop the tour because of the recession. The GCBPT was a tour that filled a very important gap in the live poker market in the UK. The £500 event attracted a large share of amateur players and professionals alike, and always had added money and tournament seats to the prize pool. The pros loved the tour because there were a lot of soft spots at the table, and the amateurs loved it because it was an affordable way to a fortune and a major title. At the moment, it's hard to see how and why the recession could be a primary reason to stop the tour, because it always sold out very quickly and you only have to look at the recent numbers for the side events of the GUKPT (Some between 150-300) to see there is a real thirst for £200-£500 events in the UK. Hopefully a new organisation will come along and fill this gap in the UK market soon, or better yet, the GCBPT will make some sort of return.
