Introductory remarks
For the first time in force, our stable of killers takes to the field. Featuring the dangerous minds that, combined, gave birth to the poker site you see today, we’re hitting the road for one night only.
One live event, five players, a lifetime of in-office mocking. Reputations are on the line, as well as cash and bragging rights. Still though, the stakes could be higher. That’s where you come in – choose a horse, wait on the sidelines with yellow slip in-hand, win cash prizes. If you choose our winner correctly, you get a prize.
