Famous Five For GBPT

One of the UK’s largest operators, Gala Casinos, has announced that some of the world’s best known poker celebrities have signed up to participate in the Great British Poker Tour’s (GBPT) Grand Final at the Harbourside Casino in Bristol from November 5 to 11.

Gala said that American professional player Phil ‘The Unabomber’ Laak and his partner, Hollywood actress Jennifer ‘The Unabombshell’ Tilly, will both be taking a seat at the table alongside up to 200 other players. Joining them from across the pond will be poker-star Antonio Esfandiari, US Poker Nations Cup Captain Robert Williamson III and World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Champion Jamie Gold, who won twelve million dollars million in the Main Event last year.

“So far, in the GBPT we’ve seen a really high standard of poker from local amateurs holding their own against the UK and European pro-players so it’ll be fascinating to see what drama will unfold with these star names of world poker in the frame,” said Thomas Kremser, Tournament Director for the GBPT.

“For any aspiring poker players, it simply doesn’t get any better than this.”

As well as fighting for the title of Great British Poker Champion 2007 in the four-day freeze-out, players will be hoping to pocket a share of an estimated prize pool of one million dollars. The winner of the event is expected to walk away with over $330,000 along with a seat at the Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic in December.

Players can still qualify for the main event throughout October in weekly freeroll tournaments on GalaPoker.co.uk or through live satellites at participating Gala casinos.
