Hollywood Poker puts up WSOP packages

By Sarah Polson

Hollywood Poker is offering several options to send players to the 2008 World Series of Poker, not only with premium packages for the Main Event but also with packages for side events.

The premium class package promotion kicked off this week with the first of two weekly satellites that will run through June 15. The first satellite was on Tuesday and they will run each week on Tuesdays and Sundays, awarding a $16,000 Main Event Package each time.

The Main Event Package includes:

$10,000 buy-in for the WSOP Championship
12-day, extended accommodation at the Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino
$2,500 for travel expenses
Transportation
HollywoodPoker Clothing and Merchandise

The satellites have a $300+$20 buy-in and begin play at 8 p.m. (EDT). For that same buy-in, players at Hollywood Poker can also take a shot at winning a $13,000 Side Events Package.

Starting Saturday, March 29, and running each Saturday through May 31, the poker site will host a tournament at 8 p.m. (EDT) during which players have a shot at a $13,000 prize package that includes:

$8,000 for WSOP side tournament buy-ins
Eight-day, extended accommodation at the Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino
$2,500 for travel expenses
Transportation
HollywoodPoker Clothing and Merchandise

There are also plenty of qualifiers for the satellites, offering Hollywood Poker players a chance to get into the satellites for as little as $1+20¢.

Players can also trade in the bounties they win in the Celebrity Bounty Series through June 1 for qualifier tickets to get into the satellites, and the winners of the weekly Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic will also win entry into one of the WSOP premium package satellites.
