Poker in the Park

Poker in the Park sounds like THE poker festival of the year, with a massive line up of events and a whole host of poker pros and stars.
If you’ve ever wanted to know what it takes to become the champion at a Main Event then Poker in the Park is the perfect opportunity. There will be free lectures being delivered by Jamie Gold, Peter Eastgate, and Annete Obrestad at the poker festival in Leicester Square on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August 2009.
Other top names including former East Enders star turned WSOP finalist Michael Greco, former Ireland International Tony Cascarino, Sky Poker regular Nick Wealthall, plus Black Belt Poker founders Neil Channing and Nik Persaud.
Event organiser and Bluff Europe magazines editor-in-chief Michael Caslli said that “The line-up we have at Poker in the Park is the kind of line-up you’d expect to see at one of the world’s major tournaments” and also pointed out that “If you wanted to pay these players individually to teach you how to play poker then you’d spend over £100,000!”
At Poker in the Park the information is completely free! So why not head down to Leicester Square next month and make the most of this absolutely amazing opportunity!

A sequel to the poker film classic Rounders?

Recent reports have emerged that Matt Damon has said a sequel to the classic poker film Rounders is definitely a possibility.
Speaking about the likelihood of a sequel, Matt Damon said “Maybe someday it will happen. The only reason to do a movie like that would be if we had a great idea. If the two writers suddenly said eureka! We have a great idea. Then everyone involved would be interested in exploring it."
And, encouragingly, it looks like the original writers are in fact tossing around a few ideas for a sequel to Rounders. It’s been reported that co-writer, David Levien, has said “We've been concentrating on Rounders 2 lately; Ideas are percolating. It's great to know that all of the original players want to come back and do another one."
When Matt Damon was asked about which of the original cast would be up for a sequel he replied “"Everybody would probably come back. The actors all had a really good time working together. I know Edward would want to do it; we had a blast working together. [Director] John Dahl I'm sure would like to do it.”
Fans of the original movie will be incredibly excited at this news which seems very promising. And while Rounders 2 would be an excellent addition to any poker lovers DVD library – you could always just sign up to one of your favourite poker rooms today and start living the dream yourself!
