This weekend sees the start of what could turn out to be of the more successful marketing campaigns of all time with the launch of 10KingsPoker’s ‘Play a legend – be a legend’ poker tournament in Liverpool. The event will see an array of ex-football stars at the table with a number of invitees in attendance to take them on across the green baize. 10KingsPoker will be sending 10 lucky online winners to the event which will be held in October in Liverpool.
So who will be there?
The list of players reads like a who’s who of football in the UK with the following having signed up already :-
John Aldridge
Jan Molby
Lee Martin
Frank McAvennie
Dean Holdsworth
Georgi Kinkladze
Graham Roberts
Kerry Dixon
David Fairclough
John Wark
John Durnin
There will be a guaranteed prize fund of at least Euro 12,000 for the 30 player event which promises to be something of a sporting extravaganza and a day to remember.
Like so many recent poker promotions the link between sports and gambling is there for all to see and something which the marketing departments of the big casino sites have grabbed hold of.
