No Surrendering at William Hill Poker's Charity Event TonightWilliam Hill Poker's Cancer Charity Poker Tournament Hopes to Break UK Records |
|
William Hill Poker will attempt to set a new record for the largest ever charity poker tournament held in the U.K., and it’s all kicking off tonight at 8 p.m..
The company hopes to attract 1,000 players to the $30 buy-in with $20 rebuys online event, and the prize pool is anticipated to exceed $30,000, with cancer charity No Surrender Charitable Trust to benefit.
A VIP trip to Las Vegas for two including a four-day stay at Bellagio is also up for grabs for first place.
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.”
