William Hill Sets Poker Grand Prix

Everyone's in poker tournament mood, and the UK's oldest online gaming sites are finally joining the bandwagon. William Hill, one of UK's best known oldest betting institutions, is introducing its first major tournament.

The William Hill Grand Prix is set to take place from the 17th thru the 25th of October with a 450,000 pound prize pool. The first place winner will cash-in 150,000 pounds.

What makes the William Hill tourney different from many of today's modern tournaments is it has removed the traditional tournament-style blinds in hopes of improving the action at the event. The purpose of this change in play is to bring back the technical side of the game that can be neglected during blind structured events that are made designed for speed.

The tournament will feature seven heats of eight players, consisting of eight online qualifiers and 48 top international poker professionals, who will pay the 6 thousand pound entry fee.

The winner of each heat will earn a spot at the final table and the semi-finalists (runner-up from each heat) will have an additional chance to make the finals by winning at a table specifically designated for the semi-finalists. In the end, eight finalists will compete for the top prize.

Viewers will get to see the actions atthe William Hill Grand Prix poker tournament via Sky TV in early December.
