London Hosts Europes Largest Poker Festival

Europe's largest poker event will kick off this week when the Poker In The Park festival returns to Leicester Square, London for it's third year.  This year’s poker extravaganza will take place on Thu 13th August from 5pm – 9pm and on Friday 14th from 12pm – 9.30pm.

The centre piece for this years festival will be the PKR sponsored Poker Dome which will see players from pub leagues come together and play individual tournaments.  Players can also take advantage of a courtesy massage if the stress of the tournament becomes too much.

The organisers expect to attract players from all of Europe by offering a wide range of tournaments, free poker lessons and the chance to play and learn from some professional poker players such as Peter Eastgate, Nik Persuad, Neil Channing and Jamie Gold.

Ex Eastenders star Michael Greco and Republic Of Ireland ex player Tony Cascarino will also be dispensing advice as well as offering game analysis.
