|
William Hill Poker today announced it will host a $30 buy in, with $20 rebuys, charity online tournament at 8 p.m. BST on Friday June 26.
The company hopes to attract 1,000 players in an attempt to set a new record for the largest ever charity poker tournament held in the U.K.
The prize pool is expected to exceed $30,000 and the top prize will be a VIP trip to Las Vegas for a four-day stay at Bellagio for two.
Cancer charity No Surrender Charitable Trust will benefit from the event.
Marc Maley, trustee of the charity, said, “We are always looking for new ways to raise funds and keep within the spirit of the No Surrender Trust, which ultimately is to do it having fun!
“It would be great to break the world record for an online tournament, which stands at 35,000 players, took 9 hours to play out and more than 8,750 hit the money, but realistically, we’d settle for a tenth of that number and set a new British Record. We expect to have some celebrity players and some well known pro’s who’ll have bounties on them for anyone who knocks them out.”
