A CRACK AT LADBROKE'S MILLION DOLLAR TOURNEY

29 February 2008

Ladbrokes Poker Million VII runs through to June 2008


Card players around the globe can have a crack at millions in the latest Ladbrokespoker.com tournament.

The Ladbrokes Poker Million VII is Europe's longest running televised tournament and from this month through to June 29, players can qualify exclusively for a package worth $20 000 to play in one of the 12 televised 6 seat heats.

This time round there is a twist to the poker tournament proceedings. As it did last year, Ladbrokes will allow the cream of sponsored poker players to buy their way into the heats for this event, giving other entrants the rare opportunity to compete against some of the best players in the world.

This year Ladbrokes Poker will be adding four additional semi-final seats, two of which will be won online exclusively at Ladbrokes whilst the televised show is being broadcast in September through November 2008. The two other additional semi-final seats will be played for in two televised six handed second chance tournaments by the runners-up in the 12 televised heats.

The new format gives everyone the chance to follow in the footsteps of snooker whizz Jimmy White, EPT founder John Duthie, Donnacha O'Dea, peoples champ Raj Modha and most recently poker millionaire The Hendon Mobs' Joe Beevers for as little as $1 in one of the multiple daily online poker super satellites on Ladbrokespoker.com. These feed into regular daily and weekly finals, and to sweeten the pot, Ladbrokes will be adding a massive $500 000 in prize money and the first prize will as usual be a guaranteed cool $1 000 000.

The Ladbrokespoker.com Poker Million VII poker tournament heats will be broadcast every Tuesday from the 9th Sept - 9th December on Sky Sports 2. The semi finals and final will be broadcast live in December.
