World Heads Up Champs Look for Sponsor

World Heads Up Champs Look for Sponsor

Tuesday, 26 August 2008

With the rise in popularity of events other than six-handed final table pushfests, the €2,500 buy-in World Heads Up event in Barcelona is one which has prospered and is now considered one of Europe’s top tournaments. That makes it all the more strange that this year they are still looking for a sponsor.

With the date set for 20th – 25th October, and a wave of poker stars including Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, last year’s champion Jeff Kimber, Marc Goodwin, Dave Colclough, and Paul “Action” Jackson, all we need now is a company to come along to stump up the €175k. We can’t see that taking too long though, with the sponsorship package including guaranteed TV broadcasts on Sky Sports in the UK. There will be a total of three 90-minute shows broadcast on Sky Sports, wedged right in between the Poker Million footage on alternate nights.

If you do have a spare €175,000 knocking around, get in touch with Peter Singleton at: peter@profpete.wanadoo.co.uk or 07815 418117. At this rate, my mate Worzel will be able to afford it if he keeps racking up top three finishes in just about every tournament he’s playing right now…
