Jorryt van Hoof Announced as Special Guest for the British Poker Awards; Ranking Hero Pick Up Bar Tab

World Series of Poker Main Event fourth place finisher, Jorryt van Hoof, will be the special guest star at the upcoming British Poker Awards, due to take place at the Hippodrome on Monday, 23 Feb 2015.

The British Poker Awards (BPA) have announced that Jorryt van Hoof will be a special guest star at the award ceremony due to take place on Mon, 23 Feb 2015.

The Dutchman – who finished fourth at the 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, for a $3.8m score – will guest star in a specially arranged pro-am poker tournament, scheduled to take place after the awards have been distributed to the fortunate few.

“With the awards just a few days away, we’re hugely excited to welcome one of the standout poker players of 2014 for our fifth anniversary. Whoever knocks out Jorryt van Hoof from our pro-am tournament is set for a fantastic prize, so you won’t want to miss out!” said Michael Caselli, Bluff Europe Editor-in-Chief.

The special ‘Bounty Tournament’ will be organized by Bluff Europe. Unibet will be the sponsor, and they will supply all bounty prizes, as well as a little something special for the winner.

We are unsure who will be joining Jorryt in the game, but can confirm that Liv Boeree, Victoria Coren Mitchell and Neil Channing will be attending the annual bash at the Hippodrome. Coren Mitchell is one of three players each nominated for three awards: Patrick Leonard and Simon Deadman are the other two.
