Celeb Poker is targeting the UK poker market with a tournament....and players could find themselves facing the infamous ex-rogue money trader Nick Leeson.
CelebPoker.com is to host a star studded poker tournament at Southend
on England’s South Coast this weekend. The UK celebs lined up
for the Turbo No Limit Tourney include soccer stars, Paul Ince, Kenny
Miller, Teddy Sheringham, Matthew Etherington, Simon Davies, with Scott
Robinson, Chris Brooks, Nick Leeson and many more.
The GBP 1000 + 50 buy-in tournament, will take place at the Rendezvous
casino this Sunday (28th November) to celebrate the launch of celebpoker.com’s
new Player Room software. The cutting-edge new package allows poker
fans to play their favorite celebrities at games such as limit, no limit,
pot limit poker, and multi table tournaments, with up to 10,000 players
online at any one time and tournaments every hour of every day. It is
also one of the few sites that enables Mac users to play, as well as
Windows and UNIX.
“Our new software offers fantastic graphics with quick game
play to ensure that the action and efficiency of our games is the best
on the Internet, said David Donovan, CEO of CelebPoker. ”Key
differences over other software is that players have the choice of downloading
the software or playing our non-downloadable version which allows people
to play at the office, at an internet cafe, in fact anywhere that has
an internet connection.”
