It’s not an official bracelet event but the folks behind Dream Team Poker have to be happy to know that their unique team poker tournament is being featured during the 2009 World Series of Poker.

Dream Team Gaming announced Tuesday that an event using their patent-pending scoring system will be held at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino on July 12 - 13 coinciding with Day 5 and 6 of the Main Event. The buy-in for the event is $1,680 per three-person team and the first 300 teams to register will receive custom team jerseys.

“After seeing the terrific response to the recent Dream Team Poker tournaments in Las Vegas, we thought a team-based event would be a fun addition to the end of the WSOP,” said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner. “The Dream Team Poker event is one of the many new elements added in 2009 that will help make this summer a memorable one for all WSOP players and fans.”

The most recent Dream Team Poker event was held at Caesars Las Vegas and was won by Team Aced.com featuring 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold. The event prior to that was won by Team BLUFF featuring Justin Bonomo, publisher Eric Morris and Editor-in-Chief Matt Parvis. The unique scoring system awards points to your team based on the finish of each individual player. The addition of the event to the WSOP schedule is seen as a major building block for a brand that was only introduced to the poker world a little more than six months ago.

“The WSOP and the Rio have really shown their commitment to the players in continuing to innovate and try new concepts,” said Daniel Delshad, CEO of Dream Team Gaming. “Bringing our brand to the Rio during the WSOP and onto the most hollowed ground in the sport is a powerful way to introduce Dream Team Poker to the world.”

Players interested in registering for the event can visit www.dreamteampoker.com or be able to talk directly with those behind Dream Team Gaming at their booth outside the Amazon Room during the WSOP.
