Those who play internet poker will now get the opportunity to qualify online for the European Masters of Poker Gran Canaria poker tournament in January. Okay, very few poker players immediately think of the Canary Islands when they hear the world “holdem”, but this particular poker tournament will be played from that exotic location from Jan. 28 to 31, 2010. This event isn’t just for the poker pros though, poker players of all stripes can qualify online at all Entraction network sites. The event organizers are predicting a complete sellout of the event, and among the poker pros who are going to be there, poker legend Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott has committed to participating in this tourney.
"I've heard a lot of good things about EMOP," said Ulliott, "and I'm really looking forward to playing in Gran Canaria as part of Team Devilfish. What could be better than a poker party in the sun in the middle of winter!"
While many who play internet poker have only enjoyed the warmth of their computer monitor over the past several years, qualifying for this holdem event will not only give them the opportunity to face some of the best that poker has to offer in a high profile tournament, but they will get a long overdue reconciliation with the sun. Online poker players will be able to qualify for this tournament at any of the Entraction network websites. People can buy into satellites for as little as two Euros or 200 VIP points.
Players should be excited at the prospect as break from one of the coldest winters on record as well as the opportunity to test their skill against some high profile poker pros. Good Luck to all those who play in these satellites.
