WSOPace winner get seat at EPO

There are a lot of charity poker tournaments popping up each but the The World Series of Pace, held by Norman and Bev Pace for over 4 years now is definitely one that has a special place in the hearts of poker players.

The WSOPace is their version of the WSOP and attracts a field of around 100 players including a mix of professionals, celebrities and some amateurs too.

Fresh from the World Series of Poker tables was James Akenhead, finalist in this year’s WSOP main event along with Steve Davis, Marty Smith Kevin O’Connell, Paul Jackson amongst many others, with pro player Jon Kalmar providing tournament direction.

WSOPace has a place in the hearts of poker players as the event is run for the charity The Meningitis Research Foundation. It’s a charity close to the hearts of the Pace family as it supported them and their daughter Holly, now 21 years old, after she contracted meningitis at just 4 weeks old.

Many prize donations were made by leading organisations in the Poker industry. A Notable donation was made by leading rakeback site RakeTheRake. As sponsors of the upcoming English Poker Open 2009 RTR donated an Event 2 EPO seat. Mike Caroll was the eventual winner of the seat.
