In what seems to be a major accomplishment for Harrah’s Entertainment, WSOP Europe organizers said to the media that Beckham was invited to take part in the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe. Beckham is worldwide famous for his goals with the Real Madrid, England soccer team and more lately with the Los Angeles Galaxy team. Organizers hope to raise the general interest as well as the tournament entries by granting Beckham a seat at the poker tournament, organizers hope that his inclusion could take the game to a new level of popularity.

The event is scheduled to take place from September 19th to October 1st in London, England. Everyone is impatient to see if Beckham has what it takes to play with the pros and survive, however, his poker skills are not known yet by any one, which is an element that plays on his favor. An insider close to Beckham expressed that he has at played the game with his fellow team mates during the FIFA World Cup and the European Championships.

“David first played poker with Michael Owen and his close friend Teddy Sheringham, who f is a handy poker player at the World Cup in France in 98. Teddy taught him the basics and David has had an interest in the game ever since. He loves the mind games involved” the insider said.
