Life of Sports today launched the UK University Poker Championship in partnership with Cake Poker, which offers college students one year's free tuition and a seat at the 2008 World Series of Poker main event, worth $12,000.
Open to all college or university students in the UK (PokerStars.com is partnering the U.S. version of the championship), players compete in weekly freeroll tournaments wherein the top three finishers qualify for the finals in April.
Life of Sports Marketing Director Bob Classen said, "This is the only tournament of its kind in the country where it's absolutely free to take part in the qualifiers and each student has a chance to win his or her tuition and seat in next summer's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas."
Students can register for the University Poker Championship at www.ukpokeruniversity.com.
