Two great pillars of modern society, reality TV and poker will be joining forces in the UK with the announcement by InterPoker of the start of the InterPoker.com University Poker Clash.

Online qualifying has begun with the prizes being a place on the new reality TV series which will feature 71 student players. The lucky 71 will be competing for big prizes including major international tournament buy-ins, and tuition from InterPoker professional players such as Kathy Liebert, Juha Helppi and 2002 WSOP Main Event winner Robert Varkonyi.

The series will be filmed in the UK in Birmingham, West Midlands in June this year and is slated for broadcast on Challenge TV.
