Poker in Germany to Take On a New Face
Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Thanks to poker room PKR, poker enthusiasts in Germany are going to be treated to something new and exciting pretty soon. As it stands now, the norm in Germany is that most people play poker on their laptops or within a small cramped room with bad lighting – stereotypical but true. With PKR’s upcoming event, though, things are just as likely to change.
On July 22, PKR is set to bring the biggest and most glamorous poker tournament that Germany has ever known. Billed as Poker in the Sky, this event is going to be held on the top floor of the Cologne Triangle. Aside from the name – which brings about images of loftiness and high expectations – the building itself is an achievement for a venue. Standing at 103 meters high, the venue is normally associated with exclusive corporate events and parties. In a few days, it will be transformed to host what will hopefully be the biggest crowd to gather in a single day for a poker tournament.
Poker in the Sky will start at 10 a.m. and will run till 8 p.m. Organizers are hoping to draw a thousand players who will vie for the 200 seats in the main event. Of course, there will only be one winner in the end. Prizes up for grabs include a 10,000 euro trip to Mallorca, and Apple Mac Book Pro, an LCD flat screen TV, a PlayStation 3, and more.
