The celebrities and poker players partied all night long at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, costing $40.000 per night and were treated a wild night in true PKR style. The party was on for the 450 attending the glamorous event. The best known names who partied with the poker elite were the Australian cricketing legend Shane Warne, Boyzone star Shayne Lynch, poker ambassador Mike Sexton, WSOP bracelet winners Phil Galfond, JC Tran, Roland de Wolfe, Jeff Lissandro, Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot, and Annette Obrestad, along with poker pros Neil Channing, Liv Boeree, Michael Greco, Kara Scott, Brian Townsend, Tony Bloom and 2008 November Nine member, David 'Chino' Rheem. The full pro squad from training site and PKR partner Bluefire Poker also showed up at party for a night of ultimate indulgence. The party was a celebration of the newly formed seven men Team PKR Pro, which included Bravo TV personality Ashley Hames, along with all of the players from PKR.com who won their tickets to the World Series packages in the run up to the event. At the party the go-go dancers and, the models and the Playboy bunnies were the big hit and DJ David Peed made sure that the music was just right all night along with the open bar. The party took place outside at the poolside with one of the best views of Vegas. Simon Prodger, the marketing director at PKR said about the party: "We always knew this was going to be an amazing party but even we couldn't have expected this result. It was an incredible night and a testament to PKR's stature in the poker industry. It was great to see so many big name poker players, as well as many of our own PKR.com regulars. One thing is for sure we are going to have to go a long way to beat this party at next year's WSOP!"
