\"\"A very interesting poker tournament took place at London\u2019s Loose Cannon Poker Club on Sunday 6th June as a warm up to the World Cup starting on Friday.<\/p>\n

Poker Player magazine<\/a> organised the Poker Player World Cup of Poker sponsored by PartyPoker.<\/p>\n

The Loose Cannon is London’s largest independent poker club and it is located in the heart of the city, next to Cannon Street Station.<\/p>\n

A private qualifier tournament for Poker Player Magazine readers was played at PartyPoker’s online tables<\/a> and 32 players (28 online qualifiers and 4 Poker Player staff members) got their seats to the Poker Player World Cup of Poker event.<\/p>\n

The prize pool for the event was at $3,500.<\/p>\n

Players assigned a World Cup team to represent<\/h3>\n

An interesting twist to this poker event was that each of the 32 players was assigned a World Cup team to represent. The teams were drawn at random and players were asked to dress in something that represents the football nation they are playing as.<\/p>\n

There was a spot prize on the day for the best fancy dress costume. There were also bounties on the heads of 4 Poker Player magazine employees.<\/p>\n

Starting stacks were at 5,000 and levels were 25 mins. First to depart from the tables was our representative from North Korea.<\/p>\n

Algeria showed up a bit late with a great excuse – flew in from WSOP in Vegas after cashing in one of the $1,000 no-limit events. He won $5,600 finishing 73rd\u00a0of 5345 runners in total.<\/p>\n

Serbia showed up representing the headmaster (sir as in Ser in Serbia) and a bunch of beer cans around his neck (beer as in Bia in Serbia). Very creative!<\/p>\n

\n

Cue71 takes it for the Netherlands<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PartyPoker’s Cue71 won the event, 2 PartyPoker shirts for knocking out Poker Player employees and the $1,300 in the prize pool.<\/p>\n

Cue71 travelled all the way from Liverpool to be at the Loose Cannon poker club at Cannon Street in London.<\/p>\n

Now it is up to the\u00a0Netherlands\u00a0to match his results at the football World Cup.<\/p>\n
