The November Nine participants, whose fate will be decided a month after WSOP Europe, are scheduled to participate, including Ivan Demidov, Peter Eastgate and David Rheem. The November Nine participants will be seeking the ultimate double of two Main Event Bracelets in one year.


"We are eagerly anticipating the World Series of Poker Europe this year," said Ty Stewart, World Series of Poker Director of Marketing. "We have enhanced the schedule to provide more variety and game play, greatly broadened the worldwide television exposure and have brought the event under one roof to better the player experience for this prestigious and premiere event."


WSOPE in London complements the WSOP held annually in Las Vegas. The inaugural 2007 event featured 623 entrants compete for £1,305,215 over three tournaments including the Main Event that saw Norway's Annette Obrestad outlast a field that included Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Johnny Chan to win the largest amount ever for a female, £1 million - or U.S. $2,013,102. Other notable players appearing in 2007 and expected to attend this year include Chris Ferguson, Erick Lindgren, Jennifer Harmon and Daniel Negreanu.


Betfair Poker has become the world's biggest online betting community since successfully pioneering its betting exchange concept in June 2000. Driven by cutting-edge technology, Betfair enables customers to choose their own odds and bet against each other, even after the event has started. The company now processes 5 million transactions a day, more than all of the European stock exchanges combined.


LTDpoker.com is delighted to offer new players who want to take part in the action, free bankroll when they set up a new account.
