This June, The Grosvenor Victoria in London proudly brings to you its World Masters poker festival.

As per usual, The Vic will be holding slightly pricier events than your usual Grosvenor affair, but there will be a couple of less expensive comps. Whilst the Main Event will be a rather adrenalin pumping £5,000 No Limit Hold ‘Em Freezout, the Tuesday prior to the weekend will see a £200 Pot Limit Rebuy.

Uniquely, the following day, Wednesday 21st June, will see a welcome, and somewhat original, addition – the Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low Rebuy. If you can afford to splash out on a few refills, then this looks set to be a fun-filled event.

If £5,000 is a tad pricey for you, then fear not, as the Vic is holding a number of super satellites for this year's Main Event…

Tue 20th June (2.30pm) -- £200+20 NLH R/B (75 mins), 70 max
Wed 21st June (2.30pm) -- £200+20 NLH R/B (60 mins), 50 max
Thu 23rd June (2.30pm) -- £200+20 NLH R/B (75 mins), 100 max

The Vic’s last festival, staged earlier on in the year, received a few complaints regarding the clock and blind structure. Well, yet again, they have failed to announce the tale of the clock, and, as for the blinds, you can see for yourself and formulate your own opinions.
