Leading poker publication Bluff Europe has announced that it has changed the London venue for its upcoming British Poker Awards due to increased demand for tickets to the inaugural event.

The British Poker Awards will now take place on September 13 from seven o’clock in the evening at the Kensington Close Hotel honouring some of the game’s top achievers.

Bluff Europe revealed that the change of venue for the British Poker Awards has seen the number of available spaces ‘increase substantially’ while it has restructured ticket prices to ‘allow access for more of the poker-playing public’. Tickets are now priced from £39 and include a cocktail reception where attendees can mingle with other poker players and the nominees.

Tickets are available at TheBritishPokerAwards.com or TicketWeb.co.uk and also include the option of participating against other attendees and nominees in a £50 tournament that follows.

“We have always wanted to make the British Poker Awards as accessible for the poker playing public as possible,” said Michael Caselli, Editor-In-Chief for Bluff Europe.

“This is like the BAFTAs of poker and we want every poker enthusiasts to be able to experience a slice of the upper echelon of British poker.

By hosting the British Poker Awards in a larger venue, we can accommodate more attendees and can, therefore, dramatically lower the ticket price. It a result for everyone involved.”
