Celebrity Presence at UK Poker Open

Matt Dawson, Teddy Sheringham and Danny Dyer will be among the celebrity poker players taking seats at the 888.com UK Poker Open, with more than $540,000 on the line for them and the rest of the 108 player field this year. The third year in a row that the online poker company has hosted the UK Poker Open, both participants and observers are looking forward to rubbing elbows with the likes of Eastenders star Billy Murray, television legend Mike Reid, and the 2006 888.com World Snooker champion Graeme Dott, all of whom will be fighting for the biggest chunk of the prize pool, along with online qualifiers and the rest. The cards will be in the air on September 25th, with 8 celebrities, 35 online qualifiers, and 65 poker pros.
