Largest Team Poker Event Announced

Team Poker took a step forward with details of Team Championship of Poker, one of the biggest team tournaments ever to be held.

The Citywest Hotel, made famous by the Irish Open which it holds every year, will be home to Team Championship of Poker, perhaps the biggest team poker event to date.

With over €350,000 set to be up for grabs, the turnout should be high. Organisers for the event are aiming for 150 or more teams of six members each.

Team events are by no means common place in the casinos of the world. Indeed little is known about the format. Perhaps the inherently selfish nature of poker doesn’t lend itself too kindly to team work or perhaps players don’t like to share their spoils.

There are notable exceptions such as the Dream Team Poker tournament in March this year which saw all of the major pros turn out for some team fun, but that was all it was for many; fun.
