Evander Holyfield is the Real Deal at Poker in the Park 2010
Five time heavyweight champion of the world, Evander Holyfield, will be proving that he really is the “Real Deal” at this year’s Poker in the Park in London’s Leicester Square on 2-3 September 2010.
The current WBF Heavyweight Champion of the world will be appearing at Europe’s biggest free poker festival on behalf of RealDealPoker.com, who will be exhibiting its patented technology Cut N’ Shuffle® and Game Check®.
After defeating South Africa boxer, Francois Botha, in Las Vegas in April to claim the (WBF) world heavyweight title for the fifth time, boxing legend Evander Holyfield laced up his gloves for a different kind of fight – the fight for fair play – joining the RealDealPoker.com corner to promote the use of its patented Cut N’ Shuffle® technology in providing more realistic game play.
The boxing great has stated his intention to step into the ring with either of the Klitschko brothers in an attempt to consolidate his WBF crown with the IBF, IBO, WBO and Ring Magazine titles held by younger brother Wladimir, and the WBC belt held by the elder brother, Vitali. A daunting task for Holyfield in the ring, but perhaps not as daunting as a ring game with some of the legends of the poker world that will be sharing the stage with the heavyweight champ in London.
Poker enthusiasts will also get the chance to go toe-to-toe against Holyfield as RealDealPoker.com unveils a series of events that will give players the chance to “Beat the Champ” heads-up at Poker in the Park. Players can work their way through qualifying rounds from the Lightweight division, right the way through to the Heavyweight final where the winner will win through to a live showdown with “The Real Deal”.
The fourth annual Poker in the Park offers poker enthusiasts two days of ‘everything poker’ with marquees hosted by the biggest names in the game. Set over two days, the free festival offers entertainment and hospitality to 20,000 poker enthusiasts including poker lectures, poker tuition, league poker events, and of course, the chance to meet some of the biggest names in poker, and world sport.
Poker in the Park 2010 forms part of the inaugural London Poker Festival, which runs from August 28 to September 28, and comprises over seventy poker-related events.
