Two poker companies have announced an innovative "al fresco" poker event to be held in Leicester Square, London. They are competing for the public interest as the World Series of Poker Main Event starts in Las Vegas on July 6. Bluff Europe Magazine and World Poker Tour promise an afternoon of poker fun-in-the-sun to be held to celebrate summer and Bluff's crowning of London as “Europe’s Number 1 Poker City.” The event, presented by Bluff Europe and sponsored by the World Poker Tour, is open to visitors over 18 years of age. Visitors who choose to play might find themselves across the table from actress Mimi Rogers, who is also a WPT Board member and poker enthusiast. The WPT president, founder and CEO, Steve Lipscomb, will also attend the event. World Poker Tour poker gift packages will be given to the first 1 000 visitors. To mark the magazine’s naming of London as Europe’s No.1 poker destination, a plaque will be awarded to the Mayor of London, congratulating the city for its services to the poker community. “Poker in the Park” takes place between 12:00pm and 4:00pm on Friday July 6 with ‘Learn to Play’ and ‘Play-for-Fun’ tournaments for poker enthusiasts and players of all skills and backgrounds.
