But the roof only covers the seating and not the pitch.

I've just called the stadium and the woman I spoke to had heard anything about any poker tournament being held there

Groupe Bernard Tapie has a 30% stake in International Stadiums Poker Tour. ISPT could be looking at taking over a minor stake in FTP.

Sauce.

It's all coming together, although I have no idea what "it" is.

Theres a pokerstars advert (cant remeber which pro it was) that looked quite a bit similar in concept and vision so wouldnt surprise me if they have robbed/rebout/reused the footage from someone.

ITS GAME TIME.....

Awesome concept but with all seriousness, if you had the chance to catch any of the WSOP 2011 non main event final tables live on ESPN online you'd notice that half the seats around were never full (probably 150 seats max around the final table). Even if you look at the WSOP main event final table each year they fill up a small theatre.....NOT a stadium.

It probably doesnt matter if those little screens in the video are showing Pokerstars skin. Instruction to editors was probably like "add pokertable on that screen" and editors just randomly took pic from net which just looked good.

If memory serves me correctly, It's a week earlier than usual - just like it was this year. (Because of the Champions League Final)

I remember an interview with a Wembley big cheese on Sky Sports at the time and he said 2012 would be the same due to another big event. This would obviously mean that it was booked (or at least reserved?) - which according to Bluff, it isn't.

Put me in the curiously sceptical camp.
