Ken Tangen the co-owner of Dal Toro Exotic Cars, talks me through the latest Panamera Porsche in Las Vegas. Steve Day our 888 vip seemed to like the luxury drive too.

In less than a month I’ll be heading overseas air bound to the sandy deserts of the north-west. For a week I’ll be located in a notorious town full of party goers covering the most coveted tournament in Poker.

Yep. I’ve been invited to cover the World Series of Poker!

My presenting duties started earlier in the year for 888 Behind the Scenes. Since the days at Crown’s Aussie Millions to the recent trip at the Irish Open it has always been a non-stop tour de force. And now its off to the city of sin where they say the party never stops.

Have I mentioned it’s pretty sweet being part of the 888 Poker team?

And you can bet this time around there will be more adventure, more coverage and more shenanigans. Watch out for daily reports as I grab one-one interviews with the other 88 poker players flown in from around the world. And spotting the team players should be even easier now that we have a new blazing-blue 888 logo.

Enough rattling from me, all I can add is that I’m extremely excited and know that this trip is going to be the big one. So keep your eyes peeled for my smiley face direct from Vegas for www.888behindthescenes.com

Ireland was swell. The weather was a tad bit on the cool side especially at night however that’s when it was at it’s best to be uncovered. Temple Bar I would have to say is where the night life is and in the Burlington hotel’s poker room the spot light was on the final few survivors during the 2010 Irish Open main event. Whereas team 888 poker shone the light on our star vip Tyler Bonkowski. Ty placed 19th out of 708 runners and cashed over 13’000 euro. It was a great boost to his confidence and for the next leg on his calendar for live tournaments. His next stop is.. Vegas for the WSOP! 
I’d have to say this past week was definitely a successful and friendly, fun ride. If you were one of the lucky few who qualified online through 888 such as David Docherty or Papa Jack then you were also apart of all the genious bookings that Lucy (new UK & Ireland Manager) had organised for us. Such as, the Guinness tour and the Irish dance classes as well as the cosy restraunts we tended to frequent as a group for dinner and no-one was left without a thought of knowing that they were apart of Team 888. It was also great to meet some of the other vips who couldn’t make the 2010 Aussie Millions in January such as Jolmer. Who insists he could not make it due to pre-booked commitments or as Ernst likes to tell it as a fear of flying as it’s a long way from Holland to Australia. All in all I too was welcomed by the team and felt the 888 bond due to our ongoing socialities and of course the poker. Let’s hope our next trip will bring even more adventure and perhaps a WSOP title to 888 poker.

Ken Doherty is a world champion of Snooker and seems to be doing very well in the 2010 Irish Open. He is also seated at the same table as our superb 888 VIP Tyler Bonkowski who is doing exceptionally well in the tournament. Here’s what Ken had to say to us for 888 Behind the scenes
