Poker in the Park 2009

Over two days, poker in the park took over Leicester square for the annual poker spectacle.

Over 15,000 attended the two day event with over 300 people queuing to get inside at the start!

Michael Casselli, the editor and chief of Bluff magazine Europe not to mention the organizer of the entire event spoke of the event and how it has changed from past events and what he expects from the future.

He said that 2009 was the event’s best year so far and that Leicester square was an obvious choice for the location of the event, proclaiming the spot as, ‘centre of the universe!’ He continued that Leicester square was the perfect location to attract city boys that like a flutter as a leisure activity after work, in addition to an accessible location for other people too.

When speaking of past events he said that this year there are six more booths, attendances have overwhelmingly risen, they have given out 3,000 Bluff Europe magazines and most importantly raised over £17,000 for the Jamie Gold foundation.

Casselli hopes to get more online casinos involved next year which shouldn’t be a problem as this event is definitely the place to be and be seen in the poker world!
