888Poker has announced plans to sponsor the World Series of Poker until the 2018 season with the offer of a two-year extension, and Loni Harwood wins gold ring number 3 at a World Series of Poker Circuit event in Florida.

888Poker continues to grow their brand recognition on a global level by announcing a partnership with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for the third successive year.

The online poker behemoth will be the exclusive provider for WSOP online satellite qualifiers and promos, and the team at 888Poker believe this year they will send more players than ever before.

When the two forces entwined in 2015, 888Poker sent 128 players to the WSOP. One of them, Tommy Yates, who qualified online at 888Poker for a cent, walked away from Vegas with $19,500 in his back pocket. Yates finished 486/6,420 in the WSOP Main Event won by the 888Poker sponsored pro for the day Joe McKeehen.
