Mansionpoker.com sponsors BC event
As Presenting Sponsor of the 2007 B.C. Poker Championships, the Mansionpoker.com logo will be prominently displayed on the Main Event Final Table felt during the B.C. Poker Championships, which will be filmed and post-edited into an action-packed two-hour highlights package.
"We are delighted to sponsor Canada's premier Poker event. With hundreds of thousands of dollars being staked over four days of play, and the final table action to be aired on Global TV in December, viewers are in for a thrilling couple of hours of Poker entertainment," says MANSION.com Ambassador and well-known U.K. Poker professional Marc Goodwin.
The Championships boast an impressive CDN$3.6Million overall prize pool, and a Main Event prize pool of CDN$2.45Million alone is anticipated to attract an increasing number of international Poker professionals, including a growing North American contingent keen to steal the title across the border.
The Main Event is a CDN$2500 (+CDN$200) buy-in No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker tournament capped at 1,000 players where a first prize of CDN$612,500 is up for grabs, and the top 10% of players will finish in the money.
With Day One split into two flights, and the start-bank set at 15,000 chips, expect a nice slow blind structure to deliver some skilful card play, consolidating the B.C. Poker Championships' status as one of the most prestigious land-based Poker events outside of the United States.
Mansionpoker.com has a vision, style and brand strength that is complementary to the B.C. Poker Championship, a world-class terrestrial Poker tournament that is growing in reputation year on year.
Audiences will recognise the Mansion Poker brand from the company's television debut as the headline sponsor of the innovative and internationally acclaimed, Emmy-award winning televised Poker series, known worldwide as the Mansionpoker.net Poker Dome Challenge.
