The WSOP is about 4 months away, so naturally people are starting to make plans — including PartyPoker. Two interesting things about their latest WSOP announcement: 1) win your way in early so you can buy your own plane tickets for cheap; and 2) Party continues to try and further embed themselves with Phil Hellmuth.
Party used to be the site that didn\’t attach themselves to any pros other than Mike Sexton. And they used to pay for your travel when you won a satellite online. Now they are trying to put it in your head that it\’s normal for the player to take care of that.

WSOP QUALIFIERS START ON PARTYPOKER.COM
BOOKMAKERS MAY WANT TO KILL PHIL HELLMUTH AS MUCH AS HIS OPPONENTS!Gibraltar 24th January 2008 The World Series of Poker in Las Vegas may be months away but you can secure a place earlier than usual from just $1 on PartyPoker.com.
A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: The qualifiers are already popular as they offer the chance to be one of the first to win a seat for the WSOP. If you qualify now you can sit back in the comfort that you know that you are off to Vegas and exploit the cheaper flight options.
PartyPoker.com is also pleased to announce that betting markets for both the European Open and Premier League are available on www.partybets.com. Premier League features 12 top pros, while the European Open IV has 72 runners.
A PartyBets.com spokesman said: In the Premier League the early money has been for Phil Hellmuth and he now shares favouritism with the Devilfish but there are sure to be a lot of swings before the first card is dealt. Tony G and defending champion Juha Helppi have also been well supported. The European Open is all about Phil. He has a lot of fans in Europe who want to support him in this format. We know this is true and that he is not backing himself as we don’t take wagers from the United States!
If this early trend continues we will want to Kill Phil as much as his opponents at the table!
