French Love Affair with Poker Channel

The excitement of poker has now been injected into French airwaves. The Poker Channel which happens to be Europe's largest television gaming network is now being screened on Neufbox TV. The agreement between both parties merges the game of poker with the ever-popular TV service from SFR.

Where to enjoy it?
Channel 199 is the place where fans of the great game can relax. Indeed the Poker Channel is available to 18 million television homes - with a good number of them in France. But there is so much more to enjoy with the Poker Channel.

The 100% exclusive world premier of the Poker Heaven European Cash Game Season 2 kicked off. This is a high-stakes tournament where a minimum chip stack of €10,000 is required by Europe's finest poker players.

Who is involved?
Many of the industry's top players from 10 different countries will be represented. Two Frenchmen will be playing too - Francois Balmigere and Bruno Fioussi.

Balmigere won $350,000 in 25th place at the 2009 WSOP and Bruno Fitoussi is currently ranked 3rd from the top in France in earnings.

When it all happens?
The seven episodes of the European Cash Game 2 will be screened on The Poker Channel on Fridays.
