The extravaganza, “Poker in the Park” will be making a return to Leicester Square in Central London for a two-day poker affair on August 15th and 16th, with lead sponsor PKR Poker working with Bluff Magazine Europe, to present a major poker consumer event.

25,000 poker enthusiasts are expected to roll up and take part in the free poker tournaments and there will be poker lectures by the best pro players in the UK, and the opportunity of buying poker books and other poker paraphernalia.

The event is being hailed as the largest consumer poker show in Europe. It is being produced in conjunction with Bluff Europe. “Poker in the Park” will be held in the north and east quadrants of London’s Leicester Square Park.

The Marketing Director of PKR, Simon Prodder, said, “London's Leicester Square is one of the most famous attractions in the world and we are excited about sponsoring such a unique poker festival in this location. This year's Poker in the Park is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s and, because it's free to participate, it creates an interesting experience for all kinds of people passing through the heart of the city.”
It’s definitely worth going to take a look, if nothing else.

This year’s headline sponsors are PKR and will be hosting the Poker Dome which will see poker players battle it out in hourly tournaments.
