There’s nothing in poker quite like the atmosphere in the Penn & Teller theater when the final nine players of the WSOP Main Event walk in and take their seats.
It’s the signature moment in the poker world every year – for both the players themselves and millions of fans of the game worldwide.
This year that moment will happen on October 30 and 888poker is giving four of its players the chance to be in the heart of the action for free.
All you need to do is answer a few questions and play one online poker tournament.
8 Questions, 1 Tournament, 4 Winners
Every poker player wants to be one of the November Nine but, realistically, the chances of actually sitting at the table are very slim.
Being there as a fan, though, is easier than you think. In 888poker's new trivia challenge you can win plane tickets and accommodation for you and two of your poker friends.
You'll stay on-site in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and can celebrate the newest champion of the poker world with an extra $300 to spend on whatever you want.
Here's all you need to do:
Go to the 888poker Facebook page and answer eight questions correctly. If you manage to do that, you’ll soon find an email in your inbox.
This email has a ticket to the 888poker November Nine special in it. It runs on October 11 at 11.35 CET.
Be one of the final four players and 888poker will send you and two friends to Sin City.
Important note: The trivia quiz on the 888poker Facebook page will only be open from October 2-7.
What to Expect
If you've never experienced the November Nine before we can tell you first-hand it's the most electric atmospheres you'll find in poker.
Friends and family line the theater and cheer voraciously after almost every pot, usually dressed in coordinated outfits and waving the flags of their respective nations.
The line-up at the table itself this year is equally remarkable. Chip leader Cliff Josephy, along with being one of the most universally liked people in poker, is a long-time poker backer who had a share of Joe Cada's WSOP title in 2009.
Former Counter-Strike legend Griffin Benger, once the best online poker player in the world, is also there as are esteemed online pros Gordon Vayo, Vojtech Ruzicka and Jerry Wong.
Dark horse Fernando Pons from Spain qualified for the event on 888poker for just €30.
