The Final Countdown

With the WSOP looming PokerListings.com is gearing up for another year of straight pwnage. The core team is being joined by a few elite tournament-reporting specialists, lured away from other jobs by the prospect of the private jets and VIP parties that are all part of the PL.com experience.

Event 1 will be kicking off May 30, 2008, but for now make use of the tabs above to check out the blind structures and rules. The latter can be found under the Details tab.

There's still time for you to join us in Sin City for the Big Dance, or even one of the smaller dances, so make sure to check out the many opportunities we have on offer for you. And remember, we don't let just anyone use these links. They're just for you.
