Vic 24-hour Pokathon

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling guilty that playing poker is a bit of a selfish exercise in making money then head down to the Vic in May to grab some goodwill.

On Thursday May 7th and Friday May 8th, the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London is hosting a 24-hour pokathon in aid of St John’s Hospice. Every four hours, starting at 8pm on Thursday 7th May, a poker tournament will start.

The schedule of events is as follows;

Thursday 7th May

8pm: £100 + £20 NL Hold’em Rebuy

Friday 8th May

12am: £100 + £20 NL Hold’em Freezeout
4am: £50 + £10 NL Hold’em Freezeout
8am: £50 + £10 NL Hold’em Freezeout
12pm: £50 + £10 NL Hold’em Freezeout
4pm: £100 + £20 NL Hold’em Freezeout

All tournaments will be dealer dealt. All registration fees will be donated to St John’s Hospice.

The winners of all six of these tournaments will compete in a six person single table tournament, where the winner will bag a seat into the prestigious £100,000 GUKPT Champion of Champions tournament.

Also taking place on the evening of Thursday 7th May from 9pm – 3am is the official opening of the casino’s new VIP poker room.

This is expected to house high stakes cash games from the cream of British talent such as Neil Channing, Roland de Wolfe and Jeff Duvall. All games arranged for this evening in the new room will donate their table charges to St John’s Hospice.
