Leading online poker site CelebPoker.com has announced that it has concluded its search for players to represent it at major live European events after months of competition and online activity.
The Gibraltar-licensed site began its global search for players to make up its Team CelebPoker in June with the final results seeing eight lucky players getting their chance to do battle with some of the top poker players in the world at live European Poker Tour (EPT) events in the UK and Austria for millions in prize money.
Playing at the EPT London event will be new Team CelebPoker players S Hollaar, T Wolfer and R Schut while the EPT Baden event will see inductees D Anadon, C Kibler-Melby, C Hohendorf, E Halvorsen and T Koguc competing.
'These players are to be congratulated on this incredible achievement,” said Linda Donovan, Poker Room Manager for CelebPoker.com. “Gaining a slot on the first ever Team CelebPoker is a real honour and, consequently, the competition for places was fierce. We have had thousands and thousands of entrants from all over the world and these eight players represent the hottest online poker talent around. I am convinced they will be a real force to be reckoned with at the EPT.
'Team CelebPoker is a fantastic concept and has even exceeded our expectations. It doesn't stop here either, we will continue our search for the best online players and provide them with further opportunities to compete in the world's top live events and become the next poker celebrity.'
