TIPS Joins Forces With The
Masters Poker Academy
On 19th March 2010, Manchester will become home to the UK’s first ever Masters Academy. The event is now being supported by The International Poker School (TIPS) and a number of their speakers.
TIPS owner and speaker Paul Zimbler will be leading sessions on both days of the Masters Poker Academy. He will be accompanied by colleague and well known poker professional, Paul Jackson. The pair will be joining a host of other speakers that are soon to be announced.
Paul Zimbler has been on the poker circuit since 1996. He is predominantly a cash
player, although he has had some success in tournaments. Back in the day when Paul started he was one of the only young players in the game. Paul was involved with many online sites in the past but now is focused on building TIPS and giving back to the poker community, as well as helping new players to enter the game. His involvement in Masters aims to further this cause.
Paul Jackson started off playing brag and later played blackjack and roulette in casinos. At one casino, he saw poker being played and picked up the game in 1985, choosing a nickname based on the Carl Weathers film Action Jackson. Since then he has had his share of various pots and is known for his online victorys. He is a strong speaker and an expert in his field.
James Deacon, Events and Relationship Manager for Living it Loving it says: “It is great to have TIPS on board and they certainly bring some wonderful speakers to the table. The Manchester Masters Academy is set to be a great event and the start of a strong relationship between LILI and TIPS”.
The final line-up of speakers will be announced next week. The Masters Poker Academy offers an effective and educational way of improving your game. The speakers have not been picked because of fame and fortune but because of their ability and knowledge of poker.
Future Masters Experiences will be held across a selection of the UK’s major cities and also move into mainland Europe. With the opportunity for TIPS to support the Academy at future events, The Masters Experience is heading for success in the poker industry.
