The Bullet Business Industry Poker Tournament ran in 2005 and 2006 in conjunction with event partners Cryptologic, The Poker Channel and Absolute Poker. Both years have been a storming success.

100s of industry executives played in qualifying rounds as we whittled down the very best in the industry. Eventually after 3 tough qualifying rounds we found our 10 top players.

Compared on the night by Michelle Orem from The Poker Channel and supported (or heckled!) on by over 100 industry execs the tournament was an unprecedented success with Gillian Wilson of Party taking first prize.

Michael Setters, Director of Bullet Business [www.bulletbusiness.com]. “Our networking events never passed without the industry guys talking about how they felt they could easily hold their own in the WSOP”. “Fine we thought – let's see who really can play. We set up the IPT and, despite relatively low key marketing the thing went ballistic”

Online qualifiers for the 2006 tournament take place monthly, with the big live final set to take place on December 6 at Bullet Business Europe Summit anybody in the online or offline gambling industry should reserve their place fast. Full information can be found at [www.bulletbusiness.com/IPT]
