Try your luck at the World Series

Pacificpoker.com is offering all players the chance to make it to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas this summer.

The internet poker room has set up a special website for the occasion giving anyone the chance to reach the fabled tournament � one which is open to any player, no matter their standard.

Mike Herea, promotions department manager for Pacific Poker, is excited about the venture. 'The World Series of Poker is unequaled by any other poker event in the world today and is a great stepping stone for any online player who wishes to make a mark in the off-line poker world.�

The chance to compete in WSOP 2005 has excited many. 'In which other field could nobodies hope not only to rub shoulders but compete with professionals? No park baseball player could even dream about playing in the World Series,' Herea said.

'Those not familiar with poker may be intimidated by it, but it is a relatively simple game to master' Herea said. 'For those who wish to learn, the doors of our online poker school are always open and class is always in session. It doesn't take long before a student is ready to take on the world.'

At the WSOP 2004 Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer defeated 2,576 players to win the title and $5 million after gaining entry via an online poker site, for an original stake of $40.
