While No Limit Hold’em will be well represented, there will also PLO, PLO8, Heads Up events and a two day HORSE event.
The festival will conclude with a £300 buy-in main event. There will also be leaderboard running throughout the festival that will see players earn points based on finishing position. These points will then be converted to starting stacks in a special freeroll to be held at PKR.com.

With regular buy-ins ranging from £20 ‘London Calling’ is for the huge number of people who’d love to play a high-quality, dealer dealt tournament but find most poker tours and festivals are too high for their bankroll.”
