Bank Holiday Poker Tournaments For The Masses

Thursday 21st August 2008

As we approach the UK August bank holiday the number of holiday weekend poker tournaments continues to rise. The latest to hit the headlines is the tournament at the Rendezvous Casino in Brighton where there will be a satellite to the main event as well as a very interesting £150+£15 freeze out although Saturdays £200+£20 freeze out is also catching the eye.

However, it will be Sunday’s £500+£50 main event which will see the best players across the UK get together for a chance of the lucrative jackpot on offer. The mix of seaside and casinos seems to be growing in the UK with more and more seaside ventures underway and new and exciting tournaments announced on a regular basis.

So the chance to sample the seaside, take the family for a walk in the fresh air and then off to the poker tables – does it get any better? The chance to kill multiple birds with one stone as they say!

The bank holiday weekend will be ever more vital for the UK market as the economic situation continues to hold back what is a buoyant sector. But then again, we do like to be beside the seaside!
