Sky Poker has launched Play the Presenter, a new offering that lets players play directly against some of Sky Poker’s best known presenters and analysts.

Players can compete in cash and tournament tables against Tony ‘Tikay’ Kendall, Michelle Orpe, Norman Pace, Trevor Harris and Richard Orford. Each presenter has their own highly personalised avatar so they can be easily recognised at the table.

To play Play the Presenter, players simply log on to www.skypoker.com and search for the alias of that night’s presenter in the poker lobby. Each Play the Presenter session starts at 7.00 pm every weekday night and select tables will be shown live on Sky Channel 865.

Details of what presenter or analyst will be on in the upcoming weeks will be available at www.skypoker.com.

In addition to the launch of Play the Presenter, Sky Poker has doubled its new player bonus. New players can now earn up to £500 if they earn enough poker points in the first 30 days after registration.

New players can earn points by playing in Real Money Cash Games, buying into Sit and Go’s and by buying into Multi-Table Tournaments, such as The Open, Sky Poker’s nightly televised tournament broadcast every night on Sky Channel 865. For more information visit www.skypoker.com
