All right, so everyone dreams of their big shot. Pitchers want to play in Yankee Stadium. College quarterbacks want to win the Rose Bowl. Golfers want to play in The Masters. For gamblers they all want a chance at one of the big poker tournaments that we are so used to seeing on television. This is where the big boys come to play. Not only do they get to play for the big cash but the exposure they receive by playing in games featured on ESPN are worth its weight in gold.

Most non-professional gamblers, especially poker players, know they can play at any of the thousands of poker sites. Most of these online poker sites offer special promotions that award the winner a buy in to a big time poker tournament complete with travel and hotel expenses. These promotions are becoming a major draw. Now one site is offering a chance for some lucky winners to play not only against some of the best poker professionals but A-list celebrities.

The online gambling site, Party Poker, is holding its tournament this month, with the finals set to be held on January 31. The fifteen prize packages include a seat at the invitation only World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational. The WPT event will take place on February 20 and 21 in the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, California. The final event will be taped and televised on March 3. The rest of the package includes four nights’ worth of accommodation and $2,250 to live it up while staying in Tinsel Town.

Qualifying spots can be acquired with the online poker sites Party Point system. There are two tournaments. One requires 10 Party Points and the other 25. For those who are new to Party Poker they can play in a special freeroll taking place on February 7. All they have to do is make a real money deposit between January 25 and February 6.
