Poker in the sky with Party Poker

Ever wondered what it would be like playing poker above the ground? What if it was 50 meters above ground? Would you still do it? For the second year Party Poker organizes Poker in the Sky. Last year it was held in Sweden and became a huge success. This year it's Copenhagen in Denmark's turn. The participants in Poker in the sky will be hoisted up 50 meter s up in the air and then play poker for some great prizes.


The event is scheduled 11th September in Copenhagen, Denmark. 22 players will step on a platform and then be hoisted up above City Hall Square in Copenhagen. They will then play a tournament for 4 hours, or until there are only 2 players left. These 2 players will get a World Open V (London) package each and play with some of the biggest names in poker. For example: Tom "durrrr" Dwan (probably the most successful high stakes player this year) and Mike Sexton (2009's hottest nominee to get inducted to the Poker Hall of Fame).

LOL, "T" "durrrr" Dwan (probably the most successful high stakes player this year)
Does "T" stand for Tom??
Id love to go play in one of these games, but would want added thrill.
Such as when you go bust your chair is released and you drop in to the freezing shark infested water.

You have to chose. Sharks or freezing water. The "intersting" sharks love warmer waters.

I knew dinner in the sky, there was an enterprise that once did a publicity campagin in Portugal with people eating 50 meters above ground. There were lots of napkins flying around Big Smile but those would tryed it loved it. Playing up there should be interesting too, because you keep with the feet loose in the air, concentration sure is not the same, and if the shark suffers of dizziness he can be easily detected...

I don't like the idea. What if you're kicked out with an awful bad beat? You will want to either fall the 50 meters or push your oponnet down, with both options having a sad end.

LOL, I some how dont think terrorists are going to target a few poker players to get thier message across, what should we all do, hide behind the sofa on sept 11th, if thats the case the UK is buggerd the amount of IRA attacts we have took.

haha 1+ vote for the added thrill xD
Just 2 thoughts came to my mind: Why online 50 Meters and how do they prevent the cards from flying away? xD
 SuperNoob06/09/2009 10:37:47 GMT
would be really funny to play like that 50m above ground and a great chance to play with some great poker pros for the two winners, no doubt it will be a success, but they should get more players to play
 ih8usukouts07/09/2009 06:58:10 GMT
That's different, I never thought anyone would try something like this. I know people combine "High" and "Poker" together, but not literally 50 meters "High"
