William Hill Grand Prix

And Apollo goes into the tank after Zeus moves all in...

Take on the gods of poker at William Hill! What a brilliant idea; invite some 40 professional players to take part in a poker tournament, and get a dozen “regular” players to qualify online to take them on! While the qualifiers are over and the 12 Average Joes have already been chosen, this tournament is going to be one to watch unfold, with Andy Black, Antonio Esfandiari, Barney Boatman, Dave Devilfish Ulliott, Phil Laak, Ram Vaswani, Surinder Sunar, Tony G, and Willie Tann all fighting each other and the 12 wild cards to get the biggest piece of the £500,000 prize pool. The prize pool is comprised of the buy-ins plus a £164,000 top-up from William Hill. (Good on ya!)

This October 18th through 24th, cheer on your favorite pro, or back one of the amateur players, who not only have a shot at winning a huge payout, but taken on the gods of poker and winning! (Tsk. The folks at Titan Poker should have thought of this angle!)
