British Poker Awards move to Kensington – Online Casino News

Leading online poker publication Bluff Europe has announced that next month’s British Poker Awards ceremony has been moved to London’s Kensington Close Hotel due to an increased demand for tickets.

The inaugural event was set to take place at The Fox Poker Club but Bluff Europe revealed that the change of venue has seen the number of available spaces ‘increase substantially’ while it has also restructured ticket prices to ‘allow access for more of the poker-playing public’.

The British Poker Awards will now take place on September 13 from seven o’clock in the evening at the Kensington Close Hotel honouring some of the game’s top achievers. Tickets are now priced at £39 and include a cocktail reception where attendees can mingle with other poker players and the nominees.

Tickets are available at TheBritishPokerAwards.com or TicketWeb.co.uk and also include the option of participating against other attendees and nominees in a £50 tournament that follows.

“We have always wanted to make the British Poker Awards as accessible for the poker playing public as possible,” said Michael Caselli, Editor-In-Chief for Bluff Europe.

“This is like the BAFTAs of poker and we want every poker enthusiasts to be able to experience a slice of the upper echelon of British poker.

By hosting the British Poker Awards in a larger venue, we can accommodate more attendees and can, therefore, dramatically lower the ticket price. It a result for everyone involved.”
