London Poker Circuit Shuts DownLow Turnouts Plague LPC and Force its Closure |
|
The London Poker Circuit, in association with 888.com, has announced it is to cease operating after a sting of poorly attended events plagued the hotel-based tournaments.
The first £1,000 buy-in event in Kensington, won by Sam Trickett, attracted just 18 players.
In a statement yesterday the company behind the events explained its decision.
“It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the termination of the London Poker Circuit. Thank you to everyone who has attended our events over the past 7 months. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed them.
The dissolution of the LPC is based purely on its financial circumstances and the fact that we are not permitted to have cash games or attract players for anything other than tournaments. This, coupled with the gaming duty and the costs of running the events make the venture impossible to kick start.
We may return in the future. In the meantime please do not register or email us as the website will be disabled imminently.
Thank you once again and best wishes.
Phil and the LPC Team"
