A Hip Flask and A Chair

Players on the old EPT and UKIPT tours are used to arriving to the table to find a PokerStars gift waiting for them and the first PokerStars London Festival is no different.

Instead of the usual cards or T-shirts though they have been given a PokerStars branded hip flask with a twist. Tap the logo on the from and out pops a collapsible cup.

Reactions ranged from delight to bemusement but most seem to agree that it is a special memento of the occasion and it seems highly unlikely any will be left kicked beneath the table.

"I'd rather have this than a hoody." was the seal of approval from Niall Farrell when he opened his.

So far all the flask have remained empty.
