Dates Confirmed for Poker in the Park IV

Poker in the Park IV will be held in London once again on September 2-3 2010, the organisers of the event have confirmed.

The two-day festival, which is held annually in central London's Leicester Square, drew 20,000 people last year and gained much attention in the media.

The organisers have promised an even bigger event this year, with more marquees and live poker tables.

Additionally, there will be free lectures from some of the world's best poker professionals, autograph signings, tournaments on the newest in electronic poker tables, and discounts sales of poker-related books and merchandise.

Poker in the Park is part of the London Poker Festival, which also includes several tournaments throughout September including the World Poker Tour London, English Poker Open and World Series of Poker Europe.

"Last year's Poker in the Park went through the roof," festival organiser Michael Caselli said. "A lot of people were impressed and have been beating down our door to be involved this year, and that puts us in the position to offer even more."
