June 6th, 2008 | by Admin |

WSOP 2008 seems to have come around really quickly this year and we are already congratulating the winners of the Side Events. Well, instead of sadly marking off the side events on your Poker Calendar buck up your ideas and give yourself a chance to play in the Main Event. There are still masses of Main Event seats out there up for grabs and I’ve had a look around on your behalf and have come up with this info, read on dear poker player….
