PRESS RELEASE: The Players Championship at The International, London, 21st-30th November 2010 Once again The International Club in London is raising the bar for UK tournament poker with The Players Championship (21st-30th November). Did you ever hear of a tournament where every player starts with 100k chips? Maybe at a $50k High Roller event, but not at a UK festival - until now! Yes, that's right, the buy-in for the Main Event of The Player's Championship (27th-30th November) is just £350+£30 and the starting stack is a massive 100k chips! Players are coming from across Europe, so we're having two Day 1s to accommodate a total of 240 runners. The 1st prize will be an estimated £25,000. It will be a 3-Day Event and players will begin with 500 BBs with a stepped 40 - 50 - 60 minute clock. There'll be so much post-flop play we’ll see five-bet bluffs, six-bet raises for information, and seven-bet laydowns. By the time we reach the final table - broadcast live over the Internet with expert commentators - we’ll have the biggest pots this side of the November Nine. We're also putting on a £200+£20 NLH Freezeout (24th-25th November) where players start with a huge 50,000 chips and a 30 then 40 minute clock. This 2-Day event is sure to be very popular in its own right, giving players an affordable chance to play deep stack poker. But The Players Championship is not just about Hold’Em. On the 25th-26th November our £200 Mixed Game event will be the world's first P.R.O.P.S. tournament. This event will appeal to adventurous recreational players as much as Dealers Choice regulars. There's never been a tournament with this combination of games. P.R.O.P.S. stands for 5 card PLO, Razz, 5 card Omaha Hi-Lo, Padooki, and Superstud. It’s a 25,000+25,000 double chance and all games will be played 6-max. The Players Championship takes place in the spacious environment of The International Club, where London plays poker! Registration is now open for all events including satellites. You can register at the club or by credit/Visa card if you call (020) 7490 5400.
