888Poker’s 8-Team World Series of Poker Promotion returns for a second season, this time with a new team, a few new team captains and a new set of rules.

888Poker and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) are like Cagney and Lacey. I can’t remember a time when the pair wasn’t joined at the hip. Last year, the online poker room made the most of that union through their 8-Team WSOP Promo, and they believe it’s worth another shot.

Backstory.

In the months leading up to the 2017 WSOP, 888Poker announced the inaugural 8-Team promo. The online poker room would send five teams of three players to the WSOP (Captain, Wingman and Online Qualifier). The job of the Captain and Wingman was to do everything in their power to ensure their qualifier lasted the longest.
