LONDON, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Welcome to the World Series of Poker 2011! Every summer all eyes are on one poker tournament in one location, Las Vegas. King of the poker scene, Las Vegas offers a natural arena for this hotly anticipated championship and boasts the success of the previous tournaments to its already world-renowned name. Sky Poker, champion of the UK poker scene, have sent their crack team of customers and poker pros across the pond to enjoy the world's biggest Poker tournament.

Along with poker pro Julian Thew, seven lucky Sky Poker players are representing Sky Poker. Julian Thew, a sponsored Sky Poker pro, and known among his competitors as the Yo-Yo on account of his oscillating chipstack, will hopefully lead the way to Sky Poker's success. Winner of the European Poker Tour and also The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour, Thew could be Sky Poker's lucky charm.  

The World Series of Poker is held in the Pavilion and the Amazon Room in the Rio Convention area at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Annually held in Las Vegas since 2005, winning the tournament is the highest accolade a poker player can receive. Event winners are awarded with prestigious WSOP bracelets and monetary prizes, while the main victor collects a multi-million dollar prize and bracelet - and the honour of winning poker's greatest event!

With the teams already in Las Vegas, you can follow the UK poker team while they take part in the greatest poker tournament in the world.
