Poker in the Park Again this August
Sunday, 5. July 2009, 21:12:11
Poker in the Park has been a huge success for the past two years, and once again, things are looking good for a great poker festival this year. Poker in the Park III is set to take place in August and will be brought to players by eleven of the United Kingdom's leading pub leagues, as well as the leading poker magazine, Bluff Europe.
Poker in the Park has run for two successful years, and is the largest annual poker festival in Europe. This year, Poker in the Park is expecting thousands of people to flock to the event. The poker festival will take place in Leicester Square, London, from the 13th to the 14th of August 2009.
The poker festival is more than just a poker tournament, it is more like a big poker party or festival, which attracts poker players, potential poker players and interested onlookers. Poker in the Park II hosted more than 10,000 people, which Bluff Europe are hoping will increase to around 25,000 people this year at Poker in the Park III.
The festival offers poker tournaments, which will feature an eleven turbo sit-and-go tournaments which will last an hour each. Each hour-long sit-and-go can accommodate up to 80 players. Each of the eleven sit-and-go's is sponsored by a different pub league. Some of the leagues sponsoring the event are Champions Poker League, The Nuts Poker League, Masters Poker League, Red Tooth Poker, Big Time Poker League, London Poker Meet Up (LondonPokerMeetUp.co.uk) and London Pub Poker (LondonPubPoker.co.uk), and more.
The poker events will be held in the Poker in the Park Texas Hold'em Tent, The Poker Dome. Spectators will be able to watch the games from inside the tent, or on a large screen television which will be set up in Leicester Square.
Poker enthusiasts can enjoy free poker games, live lectures, free poker lessons, not to mention the autographs they will be able to get from the pro poker players that will be in attendance throughout the festival.
Although planning an outdoor event of this magnitude can be risky in London, with the unpredictable weather, summer does have many fine days. The last two years have not been washed out, and players can always take refuge in the marquees if necessary. Poker lovers from all over Britain will join together for two days of good poker, fun, and hopefully sun!
