Norwegian Championship in UK?

March 31, 2008

Norwegian Champs in UKAt first I thought this was some sort of lame April fools joke. But it appears to be serious...

The Norwegian Poker Championship is going to be played in the United Kingdom this year, at the Dusk till Dawn club in Nottingham.

There will be plane loads of Norwegians ferried to England to play the event.

This is all necessary because of Norway's policy of banning anything to do with poker. All the Norwegians I've ever met have been some of the most carefree and liberal people I've ever come across. They love to have fun!

It's weird that their government is so anti-poker, but c'est la vie. It's good to see that the organisers of the championship aren't letting a trivial government get in the way of hosting a good poker tournament.
