London Open Poker Tournament Aims for $3 Million Pot

underway for this September�s London Open poker tournament. Described last year as �the Wimbledon of British Poker�, the 2006 tournament is due to take place at Whitehall Palace and is aiming to attract an even bigger pot than last year�s $2 million.

Much like last year, the aim is to lavish pro poker player and celebrities � from Antonio Esfandiari to Mimi Rogers � in as much luxury as possible, be it theatre tickets or tours of royal palaces, all the while creating as much excitement as possible around the poker. That shouldn�t be a problem in 2006, with 300 participants and a $10,000 buy-in creating a likely pot of $3 million.

Perhaps the best news though is that there will be exclusive online qualifying tournaments at World Poker Exchange (www.worldpx.com) so any non-celeb can at least try and get a seat at the table.
