In total, the Ladbrokes European Online Championship of Poker IV Championship will surpass the $500,000 in added prize money. The new 16 added money tournaments will include No Limit, Fixed and Pot Limit Texas Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha and Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, with a mixture of Freezeout and Re-buy structures and added prizes that range from $2500 to $250,000.

"As you know, we put a lot of emphasis on the importance of community and the LEOCOP is like our annual family gathering. It's the one time you can guarantee that everyone will make an appearance.It's a chance to catch up with friends and acquaintances, learn from the old school and as Grazza (Graeme Newman) demonstrated in 2006 when he won the main event, sometimes it's a rare opportunity to teach an old dog a trick or two and perhaps pick up the massive cheque at the end of it all. Of course the kudos and the massive prize pools are also very good reasons that players Europe-wide play this fantastic event." said Edward Ihre MD of Ladbrokes Poker.

A series of weekly satellites feeding into the LEOCOP Championship events are currently offered with buy-ins as low as $1. For full details, visit Ladbrokespoker.com.
