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.
