THE BRITISH MASTERS POKER TOUR sponsored by CORAL.CO.UK
The British Masters Poker Tour
One of the biggest disappointments of 2009 was the announcement that the Gala Casino’s British Poker Tour( GCBPT) was not going to take place this year. The eagerly awaited “peoples tour” was unfortunately not renewed in 2009 and left a big gap in the UK live poker schedule. The tour had been very popular with a player friendly structure and atmosphere.
The good news is that a brand new live poker series has been unveiled. The British Masters Poker Tour sponsored by Coral.co.uk will be a 6 venue mini tour for season one, kicking off at The Maybury Casino in Edinburgh on May 15th before taking in 4 additional popular UK venues and culminating in the Grand Final at Harbourside Bristol in October. For full information of the tour and to check out all the dates and venues see British Masters Poker Tour sponsored by Coral Poker
Each venue will host two side Tournaments in addition to their centrepiece main event. The buy in at each event are to be set as a £200 one day event Freezeout on the Friday, a £500 Freezeout two day main event on the Saturday and a £100 one day event Freezeout on the Sunday. The blind structures will be player friendly and each main event will have £1000 added by the sponsor Coral.co.uk . This £200, £500, £100 structure should prove very attractive in the current live poker market and effectively fills the void left by the GCBPT. Players will also have plenty of opportunities to play online satellites and qualifiers for all the events at Coral Poker - online poker room, daily Daily freeroll tournaments and Gala Casinos - Poker - Play poker online with Gala and Online poker from Eurobet poker, play poker online in ring games and tournaments along with other live qualifiers throughout the country.
