(PRESS RELEASE) -- 888 Poker, one of the world’s most popular online poker destinations, is delighted to announce the continuation of its sponsorship of the World Series of Poker for the sixth consecutive year.

Guy Cohen, 888 Holdings’ Senior Vice President of B2C, said: “We are very excited to be sponsoring the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas for the sixth year running. We’re proud to be longstanding partners of WSOP, the biggest and most popular poker series in the world, as part of our commitment to make poker more accessible and exciting for our customers who will be able to qualify to the biggest poker event of the year directly from 888poker’s online platform.”
