Titan Poker's Top Players Are Choosing From 4 Different British Venues To Play In The UK's Largest Poker Tour.
Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network, is giving its players the chance to choose from one of four major poker events on the route of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT). The GUKPT will pass through various Grosvenor casino locations in the UK, including Luton, Bolton, Thanet and Blackpool - and Titan Poker room is giving its players the freedom to choose which of these casinos to compete in.Two players from opposite sides of the globe have already qualified for this exciting poker event by winning $4,000 prize packages to the GUKPT at Titan Poker's weekly online Super Satellite tournaments. Sean Allen from Canada and British player Garry Cargill were the first players to claim their seats to this prestigious and thrilling poker event in UK. Now the decision is in their hands. 39 year old Sean Allen is still deliberating over his options. Garry Cargill, however, wasted no time and has already opted to get straight into the action at Luton's G Casino in August.
Garry said: "I've been playing poker for around two years now and I've been quite successful - but qualifying for the GUKPT is undoubtedly my greatest achievement so far. I'm excited to have this chance to test myself against some of the country's best players and find out just how good I really am. I'm trying not to expect too much but it's very difficult as the money that I stand to win could be life-changing!"
Titan Poker is staging Super Satellites every Thursday until the 28th of October 2008 and, with qualifying satellites starting at just $2+$0.20, the popular poker room anticipates a significant expansion in its GUKPT team before the Grand Finale in December. Titan Poker regularly awards its players with seats to some of the most exciting live tournaments worldwide. Seventeen Titan Poker players recently competed at the 2008 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and in the coming months, the poker room will send its players to the Irish Winter Festival, the Asian Poker Tour in Macau and the Sun City Million Dollar Poker Tournament in South Africa.
