As the 13th edition of the Unibet Open approaches, Unibet decided to celebrate this significant milestone widespread with an initiative named the Golden Cash Game — three days of televised high-stakes cash games within the Unibet Room at Aspers Casino in Stratford, London.
The £5/£10 no-limit hold'em game will run from Monday, Nov. 24 to Wednesday, Nov. 26, and it's set to draw some top international poker players and sports stars.
According to Unibet, and as confirmed by the player from his official Twitter account, some of the very special guests of this exclusive cash game could be Sweden's high-stakes phenomenon Viktor "isildur1" Blom, who has recently ended his sponsorship maintain Full Tilt.
"With the assistance of our players, we now have been looking to make a good change for poker since launching our new platform, and this cash game hopefully gives something back to the poker community who've supported us inside the year," Unibet's Head of Poker, Martin Stalros, said. "We’re hoping for a very exciting game that appeals to all poker players."
Besides Blom, whose participation was seen by many as a touch for a potential future sponsorship deal between the Swede and the Malta-based gambling group, other top names planned for the sport are Dan Glimne, the landlord of Donkr.com and organizer of the Norwegian Poker Championship Frode Fagerli, British poker icon Neil Channing, and the co-owner of RankingHero.com, France's Nicolas Levi.
To make the development interesting to a good broader public, Unibet has decided to check out to bring to the tables some well-known names from the sports world, including the Norwegian sports commentator Morten Langli, Finland's ice-hockey star Esa Tikkanen, and previous Manchester United attacker and poker lover Teddy Sheringham.
The live streaming of the invite-only Golden Cash Game may also be followed without cost from YouTube, and it'll be available from 16:00 (GMT) on Nov. 24 in this page. In the course of the streaming, Unibet plans to launch regular daily freerolls and celebrate the development with various social media giveaways.
Right after the closure of the Unibet's first-ever Golden Cash Game, the room will be aware of the 30th edition collection of its Unibet Open — a four-day poker festival to be held on the Aspers Casino.
Built around a tournament-heavy schedule with events that come with a £60 Open-Face Chinese Poker Freezeout on Nov. 27, and a £2,000 High Roller on Nov. 29, the approaching Unibet Open London may be highlighted by a £250,000 Guaranteed £1,100 Main Event running from Nov. 27-30.
