British Students Hot For Poker
Many students already skilled in the game of poker, British university students over the age of 18 years that is, will soon have a targeted spirited arena of their own following Poker Room advances to universities all over Britain directed at setting off the initial UK national Student Poker Tour.
This month the country's largest university towns will be acting as hosts to PokerRoom.com as it looks to discover the outstanding student Texas Hold 'Em player. The tour started out in Liverpool on the 20th of February and is intended to include Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester, and London, before completing it's tour in Bristol on the 3rd of March.
The first round of the tour will be played by thousands of students who will be playing at their favorite student hangouts and picking up tips by experts from PokerRoom.com; the following day will be the day the online tournament will take place, and the winner from each of the universities will play in the finals.
On 11 March the leading top 10 online poker players will then come together to fight it out at a finals table on PokerRoom.com for the grand prize, a late model new GBP 15,000 sports car.
Pokerroom.com's head executive is reported as saying that the launching of the Student Poker Tour, will bring the exciting world of poker directly to the expanding audience and will develop a relationship with an otherwise untapped market. He says that their company aims to demonstrate to students that anyone can be an exceptional Texas Hold'Em player once he is provided with the tools and the necessary information.
