The battle for European poker supremacy takes place next month at the Casino Star City in Birmingham, and team-nation representatives are ready to give their all for their home countries.
About 42 players from France, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, and Wales will battle it out for two consecutive days, playing today's hottest game, No Limit Texas Hold'em. The players are set to bring their A-game, hoping to take down individual cash prizes and bragging rights for their country.
Sky Sports will broadcast the entire event in March 2006 and will be broken down into six hour-long episodes. With the national loyalty of Europeans, this heated action should see great ratings and will give more reason for European countries to dislike one another.
The 42 players will have to ride the wave of the cards that will flow relentlessly throughout the day if they want to make it to the final event. Only three players will make it to the final table and get the cash. The third place will take home €20,000 ($23,400), second will earn €30,000 ($35,100) and the first place will take home €50,000 ($58,600).
To sweeten the pot, the hosts have offered the country with the most accumulated player points by the end of the tournament, €110,000 ($128,900), and a share in the first-ever Poker Grand Slam title.
Players that qualify through paddypowerpoker.com can play, but several pros such as Gary Jones, Donnacha O'Dea, Chris Bjorin Dave Colclough, and Ivan Donaghy, can also be seen in the action.
