The online poker room, PokerHeaven.com has started running exclusive qualifiers for the 2006 British Poker Open, to be filmed in London in March.
Founded in 2005 and featuring players of calibre such as Greg Raymer, Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, Howard Lederer and Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot the 2006 event promises to be even more popular and last year awarded a prize of GBP 100 000 to the winner, online American qualifier Adam Djumovic.
Poker Heaven is now sending players to this major tournament from as little as a $2 buy-in – a good return for winners of the $7,000 prize package which includes a GBP 3,000 buy-in to the No Limit Hold’em Freezeout tournament and $ 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 major European poker tournaments for 2006.
