Schedule Announced for the 2008 Great British Poker Tour

The schedule for this year's Great British Poker Tour has been announced with a few changes. Last year was a big success with many players participating. Last year a major complaint was the limited number of seats available for players. This year the GBPT has added an extra day one so more players will be able to participate. Live and online qualifications will also be available for players to enter.

The Great British Poker Tour will also have side events with the winners of the £100-200 side event will win a seat to the Main Event. Players who finish in 2nd and 3rd place will receive a seat to the next month's main event. This is a great incentive to play the sides events.

Also back this year is the paid trip expenses for the winner of each event. "What sets us apart is that we attract the best poker talent from across Britain and Europe alongside amateur players and relative newcomers to the game. The tour promises to have something for everyone - nail-biting clashes, absolute professionalism and the unique Gala Casinos atmosphere of the live events. A prize at the final table is genuinely within everyone's grasp. The Gala Casinos British Poker Tour really is the people's poker tour." Stated Gala Casinos British Poker Tour Manager, Mark O'Donnell.
