The 2008 WSOP has been extremely successful for PokerStars players, over one thousand PokerStars qualifiers participated in the 2008 World Series Main Event and 123 Poker Stars players have cashed at this year's event, scoring over $9 million.

"The break in play will make for a different dynamic at the final table, build more excitement for the sport, and allow the public to better understand the personalities of the players. The benefit to the PokerStars Million Dollar Men of being with us is that these 6 players will have the support, skill and knowledge of Team PokerStars behind them, a team already featuring 3 World Series Main Event Champions. I think we have a great chance to bring the WSOP title back to PokerStars for another year." said Chris Moneymaker, Team PokerStars Pro and 2003 WSOP Champion.
