Default Competition Time: Poker.co.uk Cards in the Wild. $500 Prize!

I recently attended the filming of the Poker Nations Cup. Having played a couple of games I left a deck of cards in the Green Room. On getting back to the room, I noticed the cards had gone. A friend from WPT magazine told me a pro player had picked them up and was playing Chinese Poker with them on the other side of the room

Sure enough, he was. Here's the pic I took:


Later on in the night, having drinks in the hotel, a Scandanavian team starting using them

Here's a photo of that:


Pretty good endorsement of the quality of the cards

Competition Time 1
For one point, can you name the two players, and the Nation they'd have represented in the Poker Nations Cup? There's two free packs of poker.co.uk cards to first 3 respondents (PM me the answers - don't post them on this thread).

Competiton Time 2
$500 will be awarded to whoever can take a picture of themselves playing with poker.co.uk playing cards in either
a) the most bizarre location, or
b) a picture of someone famous (either a poker player, or other famous celeb) playing with the cards.

Rules for Competition 2
1. No photoshop fakes please!!
2. The $500 credit will be paid into a poker.co.uk account to the best photo as judged by myself.
3. Closing date for all entries is 30th June 2006.
4. There is no wagering requirement for the credit. It can either be used to play the tables, tourneys, or simply withdrawn. The choice is yours!
5. No obscene photos please!
6. Don't take a photo of yourself doing something dangerous. We cannot be held responsible for injury/harm caused to yourself or others by attempting to get that perfect shot.

Post your photos to this thread as you take them. Good luck

If you've not already got a pack of Poker.co.uk playing cards, get ordering them from the Store menu.

Looks like a good competition. I'll have to put my thinking cap on.

I'm planning to get about 12 packs of cards (someone owes me some), and turn it into a big sculpture of some kind. I made a mini-Old Trafford out of a pack once, but this one'll be 12 times better. Maybe I could buld the new Wembley before the real one? It'll be hell getting them back into the original packs again though.

Diceman, we can send you 12 packs if you'd like. That way the sculpture will be fully branded up with poker.co.uk goodness
