UK Student Poker Championship to Give Away WSOP Prize Package
The fact that the UK Student Poker Championship is taking place for the second year in a row means that poker’s popularity has not been limited to college and university campuses in North America. In fact, poker’s allure has only increased in the UK, with the Student Poker Championship selling out all 300 seats, up from 259 total participants last year. No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em is the game of choice at the poker event, which is slated to take place on the 1st and 2nd of April.
