Chandler, Europe's fastest growing online poker room, has announced that it
will be running a new breed of televised poker tournament, The Victor Poker
Cup. All
eyes will be on London this July as Europe's newest and most exclusive poker
tournament hits town. A collaboration between Britain's largest independent
bookmaker Victor Chandler, and leading casino operator London Clubs
International, The Victor Poker Cup will offer a half million prize pool and
a first prize of £250,000.
Taking place between 21-23 July in the historic elegance and luxury of Six
Hamilton Place off London’s Park Lane, The Victor Poker Cup will be
contested by an eclectic mix of one hundred celebrities, poker
professionals, internet qualifiers and high-stakes gamblers. Following three
days of competition, one player will walk away with one of the most coveted
titles in poker and a cheque for a quarter of a million pounds.
The tournament will be filmed and distributed globally to millions, ensuring
that The Victor Poker Cup is one of the most watched poker events in
history. The TV production will also debut many new features and innovations
to take televised poker to a new level and provide the most engaging and
rewarding viewer experience yet.
The Victor Poker Cup will, according to Chairman, Victor Chandler, "be a
truly ground-breaking event that will give European poker an event to rank
alongside anything seen in the United States." Mr Chandler goes on to add
"We're proud to be sponsoring a tournament that will become synonymous with
the glamour and excitement of high-stakes poker. At every step we'll be
ensuring that The Victor Poker Cup is the Rolls Royce of poker tournaments."
