After Pennsylvania, Nevada and New Jersey, its the fourth state for WSOP.com.

US.- World Series of Poker has announced that WSOP.com is now live in Michigan. It’s the fourth state where it operates, following Pennsylvania, Nevada, and New Jersey.

WSOP offers a mix of live-action games from No Limit Hold’em to Pot Limit Omaha plus tournaments. The website has signed a partnership with 2009 Main Event champion and Michigan resident Joe Cada as a local poker ambassador. Cada will host live streaming sessions and live tournaments in Michigan.

Ty Stewart, SVP of the World Series of Poker at Caesars Entertainment, said: “With two world champions coming out of this state, Michigan is a special market for the WSOP. We’re sorry it’s taken so long, but WSOP.com is ready to make up for our late entry with industry-leading promotions, the biggest weekly tournaments, and player appreciation benefits like freerolls to the Main Event in Las Vegas.”

Cada commented: “It’s go time in Michigan. I know a lot of local players are excited that WSOP.com is finally live in the state and I’m personally looking forward to getting to know all the great poker players at tournaments and online events soon. Game on!”
