During the seven Thursdays leading up to the 888 Poker Open V, poker players from each country log into their country's exclusive $1 All-In 888 Poker Open V Satellite. Every country has a certain national style when it comes to poker, and each country's Thursday satellite is expected to play out quite differently.

Which only makes the international final on Saturday that much more exciting! The top five sharks from every nation - 60 in all - take it down to the wire, til the last man standing reaps the $8,500 package and the chance to represent his country at the 888 Poker Open V in Maidstone, England.

This goes on for seven weeks Sept 4th through the 18th October leading up to the actual 888 Poker Open V, October 27th through November 7th. Pacific Poker is giving away a total of $69, 000 in prizes, so top finishers also make a nice addition to their poker bankroll and can try again for the top prize in next week's national satellite.

The prestigious 888 Poker Open V tournament lasts an entire week, from the 27th October to 7th November, and attracts the best of the best from everywhere, including plenty of celebrities. Cricket legend, Shane Warne, is already confirmed for the event as are Jeff Fenech, Neil Channing, Roland de Wolf, Richard Ashby, and Andy Black.

FIRST PRIZE: $250, 000

Total Guaranteed prize pool: $648, 000

Extras: the chance to reduce Warney to tears on English soil and knock out plenty of other celebs.
