World-class Feature Table Studio debuts at All Africa May 2009
The 17th All Africa Poker Tournament is about to get underway. It is a particularly unique start to the event because the specially built Feature Table Studio was unveiled and will be used for the first time tonight.
The All Africa Poker Perfect Pair, Danny K and Lee-Ann Liebenberg did the honours with the ceremonial scissors in a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by the 111 players who received their first view of what must look like poker heaven!
The Studio Tournament Room is the first of its kind in Africa but certainly is of world-class calibre, rivalling even the facilities at the World Series of Poker and WPT international events.
The Feature Table Studio boasts state of the art production facilities which will provide Michael Collet Productions with the ability to provide greatly enhanced broadcast quality programming.
Plenary seating promises to enhance the spectators viewing pleasure by allowing all members of the audience an unobstructed view of the action.
Lee-Ann closed off the ceremony by presenting defending champion Gareth Kalil with a framed photo to commemorate his win in February 2009.
The players are at the tables and Tournament Director Sandy Koor has just uttered the words that all poker players live for: Shuffle up and Deal!
