On Saturday 14, 2008 the billionth hand was dealt at the popular online poker room Ladbrokes Poker and now the celebrations are on. This week the poker room will be giving away 20 dream packages to the WSOP 2008 in progress at Las Vegas through a freeroll tournament. The entries to this online tournament have already been capped at 6,000, though over twice the number applied. 

Some of those not lucky enough or good enough to make it to the dream packages will be given another chance. The next 200 on the list will be invited to participate in a $109 satellite for one $14,000 package to the WSOP.

For those who registered late for the Billionth Hand Freeroll Ladbrokes Poker has other freerolls coming up. They have tied up with PokerNews for a guaranteed $20,000 freeroll for applicants through PokerNews and have announced two special freerolls of their own for the end of the month.
