UK Student Poker Championship Hits Edinburgh this April

Quickly unburdening yourself of any money at your disposal seems to be what going to university is all about these days and nowhere is this more evident than in the UK. British students must be rejoicing then at the announcement of the UK Student Poker Championship, due to take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, over the first weekend in April.

Capped at 300 players, all of whom have to be enrolled in full-time university education, the event is being billed as the biggest ever in the UK, with the final winner not only taking a cash prize but also a seat at this years World Series of Poker Main Event. A buy-in for the tournament is a mere �30, and with any student finishing in the top 30 guaranteed �100, you can guarantee that there will be plenty of cash spent in Edinburgh, undoubtedly in most of its late opening bars, on the last night of the tourney.

With 40 universities affiliated to ukstudentpoker.com, who are running the event, you can be sure there�ll be plenty of hangers-on too waiting for the winners to pick up their tab.
