Watch this space from 2pm on Sunday 28th August for Live Coverage of the London Calling £500+£40 Main Event.

Our monthly £300+£25 FPC Main Event is now played to a finish over two days. Last month it attracted 148 of London and UK’s best poker players with Fox Poker Club members qualifying for as little as $3.81 online with PKR. Hakim Bouzoura was crowned champion after agreeing a deal with club regular James “Barney” Koumis.

The growth of the FPC Main Event as one of the countries most popular regular poker tournaments has cemented the Fox Poker Club’s reputation as a serious poker venue. The club which is looking forward to it’s first birthday in September now offers 24 hour cash action and over £1.5 million pounds have been won in it’s poker tournaments. The Fox Poker Club membership has grown to over 17,000.

At the end of August the club looks forward to London Calling – a festival of poker over the August Bank Holiday which alongside it’s £500+£40 Main Event offers a £200 Six-Max side event and a £150 Bank Holiday afternoon special. Congratulations to all the winners in this month’s FPC Main Event.

The next monthly £300+£25 Monthly Main Event starts Saturday September 10th at 3pm.

There has been great support for this weekend’s London Calling from the female poker community. The question has to be what has made the Fox Poker Club and London Calling such a welcoming environment?

Dawn C. speculated that perhaps it was today’s Six-Max tournament that attracted such interest: “Lot’s of women poker players prefer to play six-max tournaments and cash games“.

Ellie G. praised the way that Fox Poker Tournaments are professionally run – specifically highlighting the club’s anonymous voting system on deals as a strength: “I saw it in Vegas first and I am so glad that you guys do it here, I don’t usually make comment but it really is a really good thing. No one wants to be the loner who refuses a deal and risk being attacked by the other players“.

Perhaps the Fox Poker Club’s light, secure yet open and welcoming environment dedicated to poker players is what has proved a draw? Whatever the reason we are proud that in today’s Six-Max over 10% of the field was female and hope that the number in tomorrow’s £500+£40 Main Event will be even higher.

We have over 60 players who made the effort to register before the advertised start time and a long queue of those still waiting to join. Those already playing include Hendon Mobsters Barny Boatman and Joe Beevers. Table 4 is shaping up as the feature table where we have Barny, Kevin Williams, Jamie Burland and Miriam Segal.

Also in the field is Carlo Citrone who final tabled last month’s monthly £300+£25 FPC Main Event at the Fox Poker Club. Nick Holbrook is also playing today – he won his way to the Asian Poker Tour in March and represented the club admirably by making Day Two of the main tournament and winning a side event.

The Fox Poker Club is known for the best structures around – today the players start with 20,000 chips (22,000 if they partook of the optional dealer bonus) and our blinds start at 25-50. The clock is 45 minutes and the ante’s will come in after 150-300 which is a repeating level. Late registration is available – players are still registering now.
