Tuesday 15th June 2004 Poker Aces Gather for the Gaming Club World Championships
Fresh from a ground-breaking World Series, the planet’s best poker players, along with the now customary army of internet qualifiers, will descend on Dublin next week for the Gaming Club World Championships at the Merrion Club Casino. Boasting the largest ever Pot Limit Hold’em First Prize – an enticing EUR 250,000 – the event kicks off on June 23rd and is exclusively sponsored by online casino TheGamingClub.com.
Tim Johnson, CEO and Chairman of Carmen Media, the group which owns The Gaming Club, explained why he wanted to get behind the competition: “Our customers are playing more and more poker online, and so sponsorship of the World Poker Championship by the Gaming Club gives us the opportunity to offer them something really special. The prizes and the competition will be world beating.”
Players can sign up by visiting www.worldpokerchampionship.com and registering to apply for one of the seats available. A buy in for the tournament costs EUR 6,000 Euros. In addition, the gamingclubpoker.com is offering a limited number of free seats as part of a new customer promotion.
