Ladbrokes Poker is playing cupid this Valentine’s Day, with a special event to set guys against girls, and see someone win an incredible romantic prize and maybe even find love...

On Thursday, 11^th February Ladbrokes Poker is hosting a tournament with a romantic twist. Buy-in is free, €1,000 is in the prize pot, and on top of that players will have the chance to battle it out for a trip to Paris, as the top female and male finisher are invited back to face off in a Valentine’s Day Heads Up.

The competitors will square up on 14^th February, with the winner set to take home €500 in cash and an all expenses paid trip to Paris for two.  And in a fiendish twist, the Valentine victor will be asked very publicly whether they would like to take their Heads Up opponent or kick them to the curb.

Kate McLennan of Ladbrokes said: “We’re playing Cupid this Valentine’s Day at Ladbrokes Poker. Not only will the tournament victor win a great prize, they might just win their opponent’s heart. Or perhaps the saying is true, ‘Lucky in cards, unlucky at love’?  I guess we’ll find out...”
