POKER GRAND SLAM SET TO ROLL
Playing for reward and national honour
Top European poker players will battle it out in the Poker Grand Slam tournament (see previous Online-Casinos.com & InfoPowa reports) scheduled to take place in January at the Casino Star City in Birmingham - and representative players from the nations involved give the tournament added excitement as they battle it out to assert national poker dominance.
42 players from France, Northern Ireland, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales will fight it out for two consecutive days, playing today's hottest game, No Limit Texas Hold'em.
Sky Sports will broadcast the event in March 2006 and the event will be segmented into six hour-long episodes.
Only three players will make the final tournament and the cash. First place will take home Euro 50,000 euros (US$58,600 ), second will earn Euro 30,000 ($US 35,100), and third place picks up Euro 20,000 (US$23,400).
To sweeten the pot, the hosts have offered the country team with the most accumulated player points by the end of the tournament Euro 110 000 (US $128,900).
