GGPoker Partnership
WSOP has teamed up with GGPoker for WSOP Paradise, an alliance that combines the busiest online poker site with the most prestigious live poker series. Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP, has nothing but praise for the good folks at GGPoker and Atlantis:"We have the strongest online partner in the world, and they are set to send a record number of qualifiers to a live tournament," Stewart said.

A full slate of online sattys and qualifiers will be announced shortly at the poker site.
