"We wanted to let everyday poker enthusiasts enjoy the thrill of a big live tourney even if they haven't got the bankroll to head to Vegas or Monte Carlo", said Joe Legge the Poker Manager for Virgin Poker.   We're excited to be bringing the Virgin Poker Festival to Newcastle and look forward to further establishing it as a regular event on the poker calendar."
