YOUNG UK POKER GUNS SIGN UP FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

WSOP and glory the first prize

British students have snapped up all 300 places in the upcoming Student Poker Championships, reports a spokesman for organiser UK Student Poker.com.

The buy-in for the tournament is GBP 30, giving the young guns a crack at glory and the World Series of Poker this year through a first prize sponsored package that will take the winner to the heart of this year's action, where a prize pool of $70 million is confidently being anticipated.

Given the recent wins in several major tournaments by young college student players in America, and continued television coverage of big games and hugely rewarding tournaments it is not surprising that UK students are getting into the poker scene in large numbers.

This year the Student Poker Championship has filled all 300 seats, up from the 259 total participants last year. No-Limit Texas Hold 'em is the game of choice at the poker event, which is slated to take place on the 1st and 2nd of April.
