The Cannon club event will be the first televised NPT tournament outside the States, and will be broadcast around the globe. This publicity and the £500,000 grand prize are expected to attract many professionals. The space for 450 players, luxurious members lounge and restaurant make the Loose Cannon an excellent venue for cameras and players alike.
Roy Houghton, the club’s director, warned that anyone wanting to participate should register early to be sure of getting a place. In accordance with UK law, everyone must apply for Loose Cannon ‘guest membership’ at least 48 hours before the tournament starts.
'We are extremely pleased that the Loose Cannon Club has partnered with the NPL to host our first international televised poker tournament in Europe,' said Sam Riddle, President of NPL's Television division.
The event will also have side cash games and a silent auction of NPL memorabilia will be held on the 16th of August to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital charity.
