All Africa Poker TV signs European deal

From July 2010, poker enthusiasts will be able to watch European poker highlights every night, from 12.30am to 2.30am, on the All Africa Poker TV slot on DStv's Channel 112.

Footage from the 2009 and 2010 Irish Open, the longest No Limit Texas Hold-em tournament in Europe, contested by hundreds of players each year will be aired as well as footage from the European Cash Game Series 1 and 2, where 11 of Europe's top poker pros represented 10 countries in a cash game with a minimum chip stack of 10,000.

Commenting on the deal, Chris White, the managing director of the Poker Channel Europe, said: "This is our first step into Africa and a huge milestone for us and our partners. It shows the desire to play and watch poker continues to grow around the world."
