(PRWEB) June 5, 2008 -- Ladbrokes Poker billionth poker hand, is likely to be dealt any minute now.

Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: "We knew that the billionth hand would be dealt in June, although the increased activity on the site since announcing the Freeroll, ensured that it was dealt earlier than we had originally anticipated! As announced, we are marking this milestone by giving away a record 20 highly sought after Ladbrokes WSOP packages. I'm hoping the Freeroll generates the ultimate winner of the Main Event, now that would be a story, cutting through two fields of 6,000+ players." He continued "If they succeed in making the final table at the main event they'd also collect the bonus of up to $1,000,000 we're offering players who represent Ladbrokes at the Main Event.

The 200 runners up will play in the daily final on Wednesday 18th June the winners of which will compete in the last WSOP weekly final.

Notes to editor

Due to the current Advertising Act S.33, Ladbrokes Poker is unable to advertise foreign gambling other than 'lottery' to EEA offline medias.
Our lawyer's arguments centre around whether the ancillary advertising of a WSOP seat as a prize is 'encouraging' an increase in the use of WSOP facilities as the real driver is encouraging play on the EEA based poker site.

However, Ladbrokes can advertise foreign gambling (e.g. WSOP) to Non-UK offline media's as we are official partners with Harrah's for this year's WSOP's in July.
