Always thought you could take down one of England’s top rugby players? Mike Tindall, or Dylan Hartley perhaps? Think your tougher than them? Well this weekend will be your chance to do just that, but it will not be on the rugby field, it will be over a game of cards. PokerStars have launched a tournament giving its online poker players the opportunity to do just that in its, England Rugby Home Game Bounty event, in a private bounty tournament this coming Sunday. There will numerous prizes from PokerStars on offer, but the top prize is an England rugby shirt signed by all of the squad. A real prized piece of memorabilia for any poker or sports fan to win, and what’s more it will not cost you a penny to enter. The only way you can gain entry into the tournament on Sunday, is to qualify in a special free roll on Saturday at 7.00pm. The top three will automatically qualify for the event, though players that do miss out will have another chance to qualify. There will be a special satellite event starting 30 minutes later, which costs just £0.10 to enter and

is available with re-buys. A statement from PokerStars reads: “This is your chance to play and chat with three England rugby stars at the world’s largest poker site. So if you’ve never played

poker before but are big on rugby, this is the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling on your poker career and take a shot at some fantastic prizes.” Winger David Strettle will also be joining Tindall and Hartley in the event in what is sure to be great fun, but give you a chance to own that special piece of sports memorabilia.
