For poker fans, the chance to go to the World Series of Poker is once in a lifetime. While there are those who visit the WSOP each summer and take part in various events, for the most part, poker players are unable to afford the trip much less the money it takes to compete. The Main Event is the most anticipated event on the schedule, with players coming from around the world to compete. During the summer months, the Main Event plays down the final nine who then return in the fall to play out the final table. Any poker fan would love to attend the final table of the Main Event and the WSOP is now making it a possibility.
The WSOP online poker site is no stranger to offering quality poker contests and promotions. The site is currently providing players with the opportunity to win a trip to the final table, with the World Series of Poker VIP Weekend Experience Contest. Imagine being able to head to Las Vegas and be a part of the end of the biggest poker tournament in land based gaming! How exciting would that be!
The winner of the VIP Weekend Experience will see two people flying to Las Vegas and enjoying a three night stay at the Caesars Palace. Access will be granted as a VIP to the two individuals as the Main Event of the World Series of Poker takes place. The Main Event is set for the 28th to the 30th of October.
One might imagine that the contest is only open to those who are located in New Jersey or Nevada as these states are the only areas in which online poker is provided by the WSOP site. However, this is simply a contest so anyone who lives in the United States can take part. The contest is open until the 19th, so players still have the option to enroll for the opportunity to win. The winner will be drawn on the 21st and players have to be 21 years of age or older to be eligible to win.
The prize package is quite generous, offering airfare for two to Las Vegas along with limousine service to and from the airport. Guests will enjoy a three night stay at the Caesars Palace in a deluxe guest room. VIP Access will be provided for the Main Event Final Table as well as an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of what goes on as ESPN produces the coverage of the WSOP. Have a seat at the final table and have your photo taken as well as be provided with $1,000 via a prepaid credit card for spending money.
WSOP is also offering players the opportunity to receive additional entries by referring friends. After you have entered the drawing, you will be provided with a referral code. This code can be shared with your friends and family, even on social media. Anyone who uses your code to enter will then give you an additional entry.
The 2016 WSOP Final Table will see one player going home with the top prize of $8 million for outlasting the competition. The odds favorite is Cliff Josephy who is the chip leader going in to final table play and has the most experience out of everyone competing. Gordon Vayo is also considered a favorite to win the event.
It will be interesting to see who is able to win the big event and exciting to know that poker fans have the potential to attend as well via WSOP’s contest! Fill out the application for registration here: http://www.wsop.com/vegasvipweekend/.
