2008 Norwegian Poker Championships to Be Played in UK
The 2008 Norwegian Poker Championships will be played at the Dusk Till Dawn club in Nottingham, England. Yes, you read that right. The 2008 Norwegian championships have been moved to the UK. Despite the fact that Norwegians have had a great 12 months in the poker world with impressive victories by Trond Eidsvig and Annette Obrestad, poker itself has come under fire in the Scandinavian nation. Norwegian authorities have declared poker 'illegal' under the country's current lottery law.
As a result, at least 400 Norwegians are heading to England from April 28 – May 5, 2008. They will play in the 2008 Norwegian Poker Championships. The poker players will be traveling on a chartered plane made available by event sponsor expekt.com.
The schedule for the 2008 NPC includes ten events with buy-ins ranging from £100- £500. The Main Event begins on May 1st and is expected to include UK poker legends in addition to the Norwegian rounders.
