For nine days in Amsterdam the Master Classics of Poker will be running;
while this is not a first tournament, there will be something new
this year - the main event will be televised. For a 5,000 euro buy
in, top poker pros from around Europe and the world will converge
to take part. 350 players at most will compete for the top prize in
the main event, and the minor events have already sold out. The main
event has never sold out at the Master Classics before, but very well
may this year, as more than 200 tickets have already been sold.
