Find Your Poker Heaven at the 2006 British Poker Open!

January 10, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Leading online poker room, PokerHeaven.com, has started running exclusive qualifiers for the 2006 British Poker Open, to be filmed in London in March. This prestigious tournament was founded in 2005 and with players such as Greg Raymer, Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, Howard Lederer and Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot competing in it’s maiden year – the 2006 event promises to be even bigger and better!

The 2005 British Poker Open was won by online American qualifier Adam Djumovic, who not only walked away with the title – but a first prize of almost £100,000! Poker Heaven are now sending players to the BPO from as little as $2 – not bad for a $7,000 prize package! This includes a £3,000 buy-in to the No Limit Hold’em Freezeout tournament – as well as $1600 for travel expenses!

With each heat being filmed exclusively on the Poker Channel, Sky Channel 265, the British Poker Open is widely regarded as one of the biggest poker tournaments to be taking place in 2006, and with the excellent production standards that come with The Poker Channel, it not only makes for an exciting tournament – but compelling television!

For video clips of last year’s footage and how the event was won and lost, please go to the official British Poker Open site, http://www.britishpokeropen.com

Poker Heaven’s Operations Manager, Grant Williams, commented: “The British Poker Open captured the imagination of the poker playing community last year, and Poker Heaven cannot wait to offer our players the opportunity to take part in the 2006 tournament! With Djumovic winning in 2005, it just goes to show that ANYONE can mix it with the big boys (and girls!) of Poker!”
