UK POKER PRO’S PRIMING THEMSELVES FOR GENTING POKER PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
Circus Casino, Star City, Birmingham – November 20th/21st 2010.
“With £10,000 added to a £150 buy-in tournament, rather than being an event that you choose to play, the Genting Players Championship now stands out as one that you can’t afford NOT to play.” Karl Mahrenholz, professional poker player.
With such fulsome praise, it is not really a surprise that the many of the UK’s leading players are already counting the days to the most exciting new addition to the UK poker calendar, The Genting Poker Players Championship.
And with £10,000 added to the pot by GentingCasino.com and the buy in at a very reasonable £150 + £15 buy-in, the two day event commences on Saturday 20th November 2010 at the Circus Casino, Star City, Birmingham and is hosted by Mad Marty Wilson, one of the most well known faces on the UK poker scene.
The GPPC promises to be a fabulous addition to the UK poker calendar as Mahrenholz confirmed, “I for one will be making the trip to this event for as many times as they dare put it on! As a professional player, added value is something that you always look out for, especially today, when there is such a wide selection of tournaments available, but adding £10,000 to an event with a buy-in of £150 is phenomenal value and Genting is to be applauded.”
Fellow professional and former England cricketer, Ed Giddins concurred when he added; “"GentingCasino.com has raised the bar for UK poker tournaments, offering great value to players by adding £10,000 to the prize pool for the Players Championship. It is an affordable buy-in and a great schedule over a weekend. Genting are running some fantastic promotions for poker players at the moment, both online and in their live rooms, so it’s well worth checking them out."
“It is great that the tournament is already creating such a buzz on the poker circuit,” said Peter Nolan, Managing Director, GentingPoker.com. “Players told us they wanted a top class weekend event, affordable entry, lots of added money and a terrific location, and that is what the Genting Poker Players Championship is delivering.”
“The tournament is for professional and recreational players alike, with fully dealer dealt 10 seat tables. We are about creating a poker community at Genting Poker, both online and through the poker rooms at our casinos.”
Genting TV will be covering the event with live streaming for those that can’t attend plus recorded player interviews which will be available on www.gentingpoker.com for friends and family to watch.
