Netherlands Welcomes Bar Poker League

October 13, 2008

The World Poker Store is everywhere, or at least it seems like it. Now they have announced that they are expanding the Bar Poker League to the Netherlands. This should be exciting to say the least.

The World Poker Store has entered into an agreement with the creator of the popular reality TV show, Poker Kampioen Van Nederland. Their creator is Play It Simpel and the existing poker league will become the Bar Poker League.

The company has been running poker tournaments in the Netherlands since earlier this year, and has more than 200,000 registered players. Those that enter into the contest are playing for a chance to get on a reality show and get the title of “Poker Champion of the Netherlands.”

They play in more than 200 venues, and they feel that this pairing is going to help them both expand in ways they can only imagine. They are converting to the new format in February of next year, and the TV show will continue in the Netherlands. They will also get a poker reality show running in Germany as part of the deal.

The new poker show will be just like the Netherlands one; only the winner will be poker champion of Germany. They know that by adding in the poker league they will get the title of preeminent league of Europe.
