DoylesRoom is now running qualifiers for the first ever English Poker Open, a new European poker tournament with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool.
The tournament will take place from September 15th-17th, 2009 at the Dusk Till Dawn Poker Room in Nottingham, England. It is a state of the art facility that features 45 tables, a hi-roller VIP section, and 24 plasma televisions and is currently the largest poker-dedicated venue in the entire United Kingdom. The $1 million guaranteed Main Event will feature a $5,300 buy-in, with a 10,000 chip starting stack. Those wishing to play should register soon though, as only 270 seats are available. In addition to the Main Event, the English Poker Open will also feature £560 and £280 events.
DoylesRoom runs their main satellite every Sunday at 4pm EST, a $268 buy-in tournament that awards one package for every $7,000 in the prize pool. There are also daily $11 and $3 super satellites to the Sunday qualifier in addition to a $55 super satellite every Sunday at 1pm EST. Those fortunate enough to win the $7,000 package will be given entry into the $5,300 buy-in tournament, $1,700 for travel and accommodations, DoylesRoom gear including an autographed edition of Super System 1 and 2, and a personal introduction to Doyle Brunson.
