18th AUGUST 2011 (LONDON, UK) — Neil Channing and Sam Trickett will be among the top names in poker appearing at the lecture marquees at Poker in the Park. The marquee will offer free strategy lectures running around the clock and feature some of the UK’s best players, giving members of the public the chance to meet their heroes, with Q&A’s, photo opportunities and autograph signings.
Poker in the Park is Europe’s largest free poker festival and descends on London’s Hanover Square on 2nd and 3rd September. As well as sit n’ go’s running every hour, visitors can expect heads up tournaments, cut price deals on the latest books and merchandise, surprise celebrity guests, music, entertainment and much, much and more.
“They say you have to pay to get a poker education,” said organiser Michael Caselli, “but at Poker in the Park we give it all away free. The lecture tent is one of the most popular attractions of the festival and always draws a big crowd. It really is one of the few opportunities you’ll get to get free and invaluable advice from the biggest names in poker.”
