Sunset + Vine to produce U.K. Poker Tour

By Sarah Polson

A deal has been set in place for Sunset + Vine, a U.K. television sports producer, to produce the content for the Grosvenor U.K. Poker Tour.

The tour will consist of 10 legs starting at the Bolton location and ending the year at the London Grosvenor Victoria Casino for the Grand Final. The Bolton competition will begin Jan. 12.

In addition to the cash prize, the winner of each part of the tour will also earn a seat at the Grand Final.

Sunset + Vine will be following along the tour to film each leg for a monthly series that will air in the second half of 2007 on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. The company currently produces the European Poker Tour as well.
