Online poker site Ladbrokes has said any of its players that reach the final table of the main event of the World Series of Poker will earn $1 million from the site.

The money will come in the form of a sponsorship package, according to pokerpages.com:

Ladbrokes Poker MD Edward Ihre commented: “Harrah’s decision to delay the Main Event Final Table by 117 days will provide all nine players with an unprecedented experience and opportunity to prepare for the Final Table.”

Since taking their first player to the WSOP in 2002, it has long been Ladbrokes Poker’s ambition to deliver the winner of the Main Event, with 5th place in 2007 and 12th in both 2005 & 2006, being the Team’s best results to date.

This hand you're dealt AQo UTG and you decide to limp. The button limps and both blinds play. You flop top pair:
