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.
