One of the best adverts I've seen, that must have cost a bunch to make. I doubt hiring Wembley for a week is cheap either, so they're certainly very ambitious.

BTW these guys are linked in some way to the potential FTP Tapie deal, it would make sense that they're looking for an online/live link.

Cool commercial.

As for the idea itself, I'd give it a solid "WTF?"

The biggest poker tournament in the world

Wonder if Tapie's got the gaming licence for Wembley yet?

This should rival the WSOP in Vegas

Pause video @ 26secs. Pretty sure that's PokerStars on the monitors?

How many people would pay to WATCH a poker tournament?

Maybe they can find enough players to fill the pitch, but I doubt they could fill the stands with spectators....

I realize its a stadium but the biggest tournament in the history of the world and its only the 10th-12th? Seems like not enough time

that explains the fact that the facebook symbol at the bottom says "j'aime"!

this seems ridiculous though, are viewing figures for poker tv shows in the UK even big enough to fill wembley stadium? they're not exactly prime time material, and that's when its free.

surely this is some sort of hoax, although to what end i don't know.
