42 players will do battle in a series of seven 6-max single table tournaments. The winner of each heat will make it to the final table, which takes place in December. The prize pool is $42,000, with a cool $20,000 going to the eventual champion.

PokerStrategy.com TV World ChampionshipWhen the players are not playing their heats, they will be partying like VIPs in the heart of London. They can expect luxury accommodation, limousines, and VIP trips to nightclubs.   

 

Who is Playing?

Although it may sound like an event for the poker elite only, the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship is going to be contested by members of our PokerStrategy.com community.

Many of whom won their seats to this event for free.

Most of these players are recreational players or aspiring pros. Joining them also will be 10 PokerStrategy.com coaches, who have been teaching you guys how to climb the ranks via our exclusive strategy content.

Finally PokerStrategy.com CEO Dominik 'Korn' Kofert will be waiting at the final table, looking to claim the title from the 7 finalists.

Where Are They Staying?

Everyone playing in the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship will be living the high life during their stay in London.

Everyone is staying at the stylish K-West Hotel in Hammersmith, which is one of the coolest and most relaxing hotels in the country.

With relaxing spas, fine dining, and cool extra features like Apple Mac workdesks in every single room - the PokerStrategists will probably not want to leave.

Especially when you factor in numerous welcome parties they can expect during their stay.

How Did They Get There?

18 of the contestants won their seat in a series of rake races on PokerHeaven, exclusive to PokerStrategy.com community members.

Another 14 players won their ticket completely for free, in a series of regional, depositor, and open freerolls - again exclusive to PokerStrategy.com.

They got to play in this prestigious event simply by downloading PokerHeaven.com via PokerStrategy.com and being a member of our 5 million strong community.
