U.S. Stars Turn Out for Great British Poker Tour

Five stars of the poker world from the U.S. have signed up to take part in the Great British Poker Tour grand final taking place at the Gala Casino Harbourside, Bristol, England, from Nov. 5-11.

Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, Jennifer Tilly, Robert Williamson III, and Jamie Gold will compete for the title of Great British Poker Champion and a share of the estimated £500,000 prize pool.

GBPT Tournament Director Thomas Kremser said, "So far in the GBPT, we've seen a really high standard of poker from local amateurs holding their own against the UK and European pro players, so it'll be fascinating to see what drama will unfold with these star names of world poker in the frame. For any aspiring poker players, it simply doesn't get any better than this."

The Great British Poker Tour main event will have an estimated prize pool of £500,000. The winner of the event will also pick up a seat to the Bellagio Five-Diamond World Poker Classic in December.

Qualification is available through galapoker.co.uk, including weekly freerolls guaranteeing £3,000 VIP packages throughout October, or through live satellites across selected Gala Casinos nationwide. Players can also buy in directly into the £2,500+£50 main event.
