There are 64 players involved in the event in total, 2 players won their tournament seats by playing in satellite competitions held at Caesar’s Palace. An online poker satellite tournament was held at PokerStars, the winner of that event also won a seat at the 2008 Heads Up Poker Championships. All of the remaining seats were given to celebrity poker players that received a personal invitation to the exclusive ‘who’s who in poker’ style event.
