“Antonio is one of the game’s biggest personalities and I am so excited that he is the Master of Ceremonies at the first British Poker Awards,” Caselli said. “This awards night is a special event for the British poker scene, as we honour those who have made outstanding contributions in the game, but it’s also going to be a night where the poker playing public can come and meet their favourite players and watch the best players in the land receive their awards.”


A host of top names are expected to attend the ceremony including the likes of James Akenhead, Vicky Coren, Marty Wilson, Neil Channing, Tony Kendall and Tony Holden. Tickets for the star studded event are still available at £39. As well as getting the chance to mingle with poker royalty at a pre awards cocktail party, attendees will also have the chance to take part in an optional £50 freezeout tournament after the ceremony.
