BLAPO club members will benefit from dedicated online freerolls every week

Monday 14th May 2007

Everest Poker has announced temporary sponsorship of the BLAPO London Amateur Poker Organisation.

The online poker room will sponsor Texas Hold’em events held in the greater London area and offer all BLAPO members the chance to play in a BLAPO Members and Friends $200 online freeroll poker tournament every Sunday at 20:00 GMT.

'Poker's growing very rapidly in the UK,' said Jonathan May, Everest Poker property manager. 'We wanted to work with BLAPO to foster a grassroots movement and give players the chance to compete for real money.'

BLAPO runs six live poker events across London each week including; games at the Warwick in SW1 every Sunday; two Monday night tournaments at The Master Gunner in Moorgate and Bar Room Bar in Wanstead; and a warm-up game and tournament at the Spinnaker in London every Tuesday.

'It takes just a few moments to set up an account and the variety of games we offer gives even beginners the chance to compete fairly,” added May. “That's why we're very enthusiastic about working with BLAPO – their poker evenings give new players time to learn about the game with no risk.'
