Poker Million V
'Get yer million vees'
Pretty much anything with the words “poker” and “million” is going to grab my attention, so kudos to the folks over at Ladbroke's poker for their deliciously, enticingly named Poker Million. I suppose the “V” after the title means this is the fifth such event, which means I'm about four events behind, but what are you going to do? I know what you should do, and that is head on over to pokermillion.com and check out the “main event on the European Poker Calendar.”
One of the best parts of this event is that Ladsbroke has added so much money on top of the prize pool, making it $4,120,000 to go!
