Birmingham 2007
The first ever Virgin Poker Festival took place in the Broadway Casino in Birmingham on 24th/25th November 2007 and was widely declared a huge success.

The emphasis was on having fun and it was in this spirit that the 200 strong field of players who had qualified online went into this 2 day deep stacked event.

Friendships were forged, drinks were drunk and those who were there seemed to be having a blast! Apart from the main event, there were STTs running on both days, heads-up games for charity against the Virgin staff and even 10 pin bowling on the Nintendo Wii!

Main Event
David Young (IndigoGB) triumphed in the main event scooping a tasty £6,800. He was pushed all the way by Ted Smith (gnashers) and Sandra Jolly (Jadeem23), who both had extended spells as chip leader, but were consoled with the £5000 and £3,500 they won respectively! Congratulations also went to Ian Evans (emsian8144) for triumphing in Sunday's STT Champs comp.
