Home / Uncategorized / Join the second annual Poker(Stars) homecoming

Where does poker live? Did you say Las Vegas? I’m afraid you’d be wrong. It’s not Macau, Texas, New Jersey or London either. It’s… the Isle of Man.

That’s right, the Isle of Man is the home of poker and this is why: more hands are dealt here than anywhere else on the planet. An incredible 50 million hands a day are shuffled up from the PokerStars HQ and we’re inviting you to come and check it out for yourselves. There will be Team Pros, parties and poker aplenty – and you can even satellite in on the cheap or even free. There will even be tours round the PokerStars offices if you’re interested (and not too busy winning £10,000’s in the Main Event live streamed live on the webcast).

So come join the second annual poker pilgrimage with the likes of WSOP legend Chris Moneymaker, EPT double champion Vicky Coren, Triple Crown winner Jake Cody and a host of other great poker names, including fellow members of Team PokerStars Eugene Katchalov, Theo Jorgensen, last year’s runner-up Fatima Moreira de Melo, Chris and Matti de Meulder, Adrienne ‘Talonchick’ Rowsome, Mickey ‘mementmori’ Petersen and Ike Haxton.

Play and party with poker legend Chris Moneymaker!

The Isle of Man sits between the UK and Ireland in the Irish Sea and is home to PokerStars, the world’s largest poker site. Okay, we may not have all the glitz of Las Vegas but table service won’t cost you a small fortune here. Make your pilgrimage to the home of poker for UKIPT Isle of Man (Oct 1-6) and we’ll make sure that you have an amazing poker homecoming.
