Poker Festival Hits Manchester United Territory

A seven day festival offering a prize pool guaranteed for at least one million dollars US will be visiting the place Manchester United calls home in June. Professional poker players and hobbyists alike are expected to compete in the week long tourney, with five different events to keep all parties interested.



Texas Hold'em, SHOE and Omaha will be the games to play, and a gala dinner, free buffets every day and tour of the Old Trafford Stadium are the draws of the poker festival. Players should expect some high stakes cash games as well, a routine event at big tournaments. Several online poker rooms are offering satellite qualifiers to get entry to the event, some of which include two person packages for a week in Manchester, valued at over ten grand.
