The 2009 WSOP organizers hope to gain success.

Daniel Craker is reported to have beaten over 300 competitors in the $3,000 buy-in Festival of Poker. He became a winner of $257,040 and got entry to the Asian Pacific Poker Tour Grand Final in Sydney.

Taking part in a satellite tournament, Daniel Craker won his entry to the high-stakes game and became a winner.

306 players from 21 countries took part in the competition with the $800,000 prize pool. 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Joe Hachem also played there.
