MILLION DOLLAR WSOP LARGESS FROM BETFAIR

Betting exchange poker operation is offering an unlimited number of sponsored seats for WSOP 2006


Betfair Poker, UK betting exchange Betfair's online poker site, is offering an unlimited number of seats for this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Ben Fried, head of poker at Betfair, said: "We expect to spend over US$1 million sending players to the WSOP. With offers like the Threedom Pass, we have added value to the proposition."

The Threedom Pass sponsorship will be worth US$45,000 at the WSOP and will give members of Team Betfair Poker the possibility of returning to poker tournaments for three years if they make the final table in Vegas this year.
