BestPoker.com is taking the final table to greater heights. If the adrenalin rush from playing those all important hands wasn’t enough, how about doing that 150 feet in the air.
“Poker in the Sky” is played firstly online at the site and then the 22 finalists will take to the clouds overlooking Stockholm city centre for the final. The 22 high-flyers will compete for the title and a Kawasaki motor cycle.
VIP Manager at Bestpoker.com, Magnus Bjuggren, said, “Poker in the Sky is something that we planned for a long time, and we feel that it’s time to introduce the world to this extravagant event. We have a lot of successful players at Bestpoker.com and this is a great opportunity for us to give the very best of the best something that nobody else can. I’m looking forward to this event, and I’m so glad that it has gotten so much attention amongst players and in the rest of the business already.”
The concept of playing poker in extreme locations is one that has interested other sites and players in the past. The Extreme Poker Series previously run by InterPoker saw poker action play out at the Arctic Circle, 30,000 feet above the Nevada desert, and on a cliff ledge 270 feet above jagged rocks in Sydney Harbor.
Marketing Manager at Bestpoker.com, Robert Arfvidsson, said,”Hopefully, we will be bringing this concept to other cities in Europe and South America, which makes it even more exciting for the winner from Stockholm, to be able to defend his or her title in the next event.”
