WSOP* Fantasy League 2008

Every June the world's finest card players descend on their poker mecca, Las Vegas, to contest more than fifty poker tournaments culminating in the World Series of Poker Main Event*. Each tournament offers contestants the chance at winning a gold bracelet, big cash prizes and the kudos of being a World Champion.

And now you can play along with them because PKR's very own Fantasy Poker League is here!

Entry is free and there are some great prizes on offer. All you have to do to play is choose your ten favourite players from our list, using your shrewd poker mind to select those with the best chance to pick up a bracelet. We'll update the league leaderboard during the series so that you can keep up with the action as it happens!

How do I play?

With $10,000 to spend, choose your pros wisely from more than 300 big names listed below. Once you've picked your ten, follow their progress in each of 32 qualifying World Series events. Points are awarded for a top 20 finish with triple points awarded for the main event.

We're offering great cash prizes for the top ten teams at the end of the league, plus entry to a Fantasy Freeroll for every team that scores higher than the selections made by Team PKR! Check out the forums for debate, gossip and team comparisons!
