WSOPE 2009 TO HOST UNIQUE CAESARS CUP EVENT

[Eric]

Europe will take on Americas at WSOP Europe Presented by Betfair

The best poker players from Europe and the Americas are set to battle
it out at this year's World Series of Poker Europe, in the Caesars
Cup, a unique Ryder Cup-style poker tournament that pits teams of the
best players from both sides of the Atlantic against each other.

The Caesars Cup is a made-for-television special that will air on
ESPN-branded channels around the globe and syndicated in markets
without ESPN affiliates as part of televised 2009 WSOPE coverage.

The Caesars Cup will feature the game No-Limit Hold'em with two teams
of eight doing battle over a series of Heads Up and partner formats,
with points awarded at each stage. The unique formats will include
alternate betting and other non-traditional elements as players aim to
win points for their respective teams.

Both Negreanu and Obrestad will be responsible for selecting six
additional team members each of whom will do battle alongside them to
determine whether the Americas or Europeans is home to the best
tournament poker players.


One lucky player will also be able to qualify for the European Team
exclusively through Betfair Poker. From June through to August Betfair
players will be able to take part in the Caesars Cup leader boards,
with the winner to be featured in the live television showdown in
London.


Betfair and the World Series of Poker Europe are proud to introduce
such a unique and exciting event. And with one seat on the European
team up for grabs to a qualifier, Betfair Poker is the place to play
to test yourself against the best and win your way into this unique
televised event.
