While the Easter weekend is often a great time to spend with family members and loved ones, it can often provide an excellent opportunity to do the things in life that you really want to. The fact that it is a long weekend means that there is a bit more freedom available for people and this can often be the catalyst for people to take time for themselves. There are many activities that can take up your time over the Easter weekend but if you love playing poker, this could be the best way for you to spend your time.

There is no doubt that the emergence of so many reliable online poker sites provides players with the opportunity to play poker more often but weekends like this provide an ideal opportunity to get out of the house and take on real poker in a real poker tournament. Anyone looking for a London poker event over the Easter weekend will find that the Western Club because this huge venue is the host venue for a tremendous poker event this weekend. You will definitely think that this Friday is Good Friday if you’re looking for a big poker experience this month.

A hefty prize pool on offer in the Westernmania Event

There is going to be a prize pool of £250,000 on offer, which should be of interest to many people. Of course, a prize pool of this size usually means that there is a massive buy-in involved too but this is not the case. For the Westernmania event, the buy-in is a rather reasonably priced £333. The action opens at 4pm and the rest of the days will follow suit with this time. This should still leave some time to spend with the family before getting yourself into the poker zone!

If you are lucky enough to scale the heights of poker during this event, the top prize is one that is well worth playing for. The guaranteed prize for the player that comes out on top at the Westernmania event is £75,000. That is definitely the sort of incentive that players would ditch their loved ones for over the Easter break and just think how many chocolate eggs you could buy for the kids with that sort of money. It would be a very bad idea to spend all of your winnings of this magnitude on chocolate eggs but there is definitely a lot to be said for spreading the love and the money around.

There have been satellite events running one or two of the online poker sites in the build-up to the event so there will be a number of players that have made their way to the Main Event for free.

Okay, it is unlikely that you will be the player that manages to grab this massive prize but there will be plenty of other prizes on offer. Even with that in mind, the thrill and excitement of playing a live poker event is often enough encouragement and incentive for most players so why not make some room in your diary this weekend and get involved at the Western.
