The winner will receive $500k,the runner up $250k. The event will be televised and highlights shown on NBC at a later date. The draw will take place on Thursday 4th in Pure nightclub, next to the Caesars LV poker room.

WSOP Champions Joe Cada, Peter Eastgate, Joe Hachem, Chris Ferguson,Johnny Chan,Jamie Gold, Chris Moneymaker,Scotty Nguyen,Jerry Yang, Huck Seed and Greg Raymer are all scheduled to play.

The ladies will be represented by Vanessa Rousso,Annette Obrestad,Jennifer Tilly and Kara Scott.

Dennis Phillips and Darvin Moon who both held the chip lead in the WSOP ME 2008 and 2009 for three months have also been invited to play, a nice gesture by Harrahs. Phillips is an excellent ambassador for the game of poker.Jennifer Tilly NBC
