While the initial announcements about the International Stadiums Poker Tour were exciting, there were plenty of doubts raised about whether the proposed events would go ahead as planned. Poker players have had to sit through a lot of false dawns in their time and this means that there is a natural air of cynicism about any event that promises so much. Let’s face it, any poker player in the United Kingdom that also loves football would have instantly be drawn to an event that gives them the chance of playing at Wembley. The home of English football in the year that the FA celebrates its 150th anniversary and hosts the Champions League final is going to be a massive event. It is not just a great location for the English, Scottish and Welsh fans have descended on the English national stadium with their national teams and Celtic are the only Scottish team to have played at Wembley, triumphing in the 2009 Wembley Cup. All of this means that Wembley is a stadium that means something to football fans all across Britain and the chance to play poker in the stadium is a highly enticing affair.
This was why there was great relief when it was announced that Dusk Till Dawn was working alongside the ISPT because poker players in the UK trusts what DTD provides. Further proof of the tie-in comes along with the exclusive launch party that DTD is hosting on the 15th of March at the Crystal Room in the May Fair hotel for the ISPT.
DTD brings confidence to big poker event
The fact that DTD have signed agreement s to licence, operate, promote and guarantee the Wembley event means that poker players can look forward to the event with greater confidence. The famous stadium event is scheduled to begin on the 31st of March and it will carry on through until the 5th of June. It is reported that the layout and structure of the event will be similar to the Main Event in the WSOP tour.
The launch party is bound to be a massive event but it is an in invitation only deal. There will be a D set by Antonio Vendone and the DTD girls will be in attendance alongside the Martini Glass dancers. Every guest will receive free drinks as well as plenty of information about the ISPT event. There is sure to be attendances by the great and the good of the UK poker community and if you have received an invite, there is a need to RSVP by Wednesday the 13th of March.
