PartyPoker.com is hoping that their players will love their brand new poker promotion. The web gaming giant and Ace Magazine have collaborated to create Poker in the Sky, an "elevated" poker tournament taking place on September 11th, 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In the tournament, twenty-two poker players will get on a platform and then be hoisted fifty meters in the air above the City Hall Square. They will then play a 4-hour poker event, surrounded by the spires of the city and with actual birds the only audiences. Two of the twenty-two participants will go to celebrity players, but the rest of the spots are up for grabs on PartyPoker.com-provided that you do not have any fear of heights.
The tournament is limited to residents of Denmark only and the last satellite event happened on September 3rd, 2009. The twenty-two poker players will not only have a fantastic view of Copenhagen but the winner of the tournament will receive a package for the PartyPoker.com World Open V in London in October.
