The Great British Poker Tour moves to the seaside next week, as local players, circuit players and national celebrities welcome the tour to sunny Bournemouth on the South Coast.



The tournament will take place 13–17 June 2007 at Gala Casino, Westover Road, Bournemouth.

The GBPT festival main event combines 140 runners and an estimated prize pool of £75,000 over three days. Players will be entered into a random draw on Tuesday 5 June that will determine the starting day for each of the two ‘day ones.’

Local poker talent will be playing alongside a host of celebrities including World Cup winning England rugby player Mike Tindall, ex-Republic Of Ireland and Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino as well as snooker legends Jimmy White and Ken Doherty.
