The UK’s biggest ever online poker tournament: $1 million tournament.

Betfred Poker announced the launch of the Betfred Million – the UK’s biggest guaranteed Texas Hold’Em No-Limit poker online tournament!

Fred Done, Founder and Chairman of Betfred, who is famous for his early payout on Man United in 1998 and his £1 million wager on United v Chelsea in the 2004/2005 season, said “I always like to do something a bit different that will get the punters excited. I am taking a risk by guaranteeing a million dollars in prize money but that just adds to the buzz of the event”.
