Barry Hilton’s Poker Debut
Due to the huge success of the previous poker training parties that Piggs Peak, home of All Africa Poker have hosted in the past, the promotion was brought back but with a bang … funny man Barry Hilton made his poker debut. Barry “the cousin” Hilton was joined by Alex Jay and the Yfm twins Ntando and Hlelo Masina for poker training from The All Africa Poker Channel commentators, Ryan Dreyer, Ryan Brauer and David Dadic.
The “Win A Poker Party with Barry Hilton” promotion was run over The All Africa Poker Channel, poker magazines, radio stations – Highveld, KFM and TUKS as well as over the internet and drew a large response, but unfortunately there could only be one, well not quite. Piggs Peak home of All Africa Poker decided to up the ante and extended the prizes to 3 winners who got to bring eight of their friends to join in for the poker training evening which was held on the the 28 August 2008.
Congratulations to the following winner’s:
Charles Gildenhuys, Jolyon Ellis and Jacques Liebenberg.
Archie Els, the winner of the “Win A Seat to the R3,000,000 All Africa Poker Tournament” promotion that was run on Highveld in June/July, was also in attendance and got to share some of his experience of the tournament which was held from the 14th to 17th August 2008 at Piggs Peak, Swaziland. Archie did extremely well for his first tournament but it was Darren Kramer who walked away victorious and won the top prize of R1 Million Rand.
For those who are up to Africa’s greatest poker challenge, the next R3,500,000 All Africa Poker Tournament will be held from 13 – 17 November 2008 at Piggs Peak Hotel and Casino, Swaziland. The Main Event prize winner receives R1 Million and there are nine packages to the 2009 Aussie Millions in Melbourne valued at R150,000 up for grabs.
