The 17th All Africa Poker Tournament is about to get underway. It is a particularly unique start to the event because the specially built Feature Table Studio was unveiled and will be used for the first time tonight.
The All Africa Poker Perfect Pair, Danny K and Lee-Ann Liebenberg did the honours with the ceremonial scissors in a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by the 112 players who received their first view of what must look like poker heaven!
The Studio Tournament Room is the first of its kind in Africa but certainly is of world-class calibre, rivalling even the facilities at the World Series of Poker and WPT international events.
The Feature Table Studio boasts state of the art production facilities which will provide Michael Collet Productions with the ability to provide greatly enhanced broadcast quality programming.
Plenary seating promises to enhance the spectators viewing pleasure by allowing all members of the audience an unobstructed view of the action.
Lee-Ann closed off the ceremony by presenting defending champion Gareth Kalil with a framed photo to commemorate his win in February 2009.
The players are at the tables and Tournament Director Sandy Koor has just uttered the words that all poker players live for: Shuffle up and Deal!

Darren "kingkramer" Kramer has won the R3,000,000 All Africa Poker Tournament which took place this weekend at Piggs Peak Casino, Swaziland. Kramer said, "I have learnt patience ... although I still can't sit still for more than two seconds. I am very happy; this is the one I always wanted to win."
Kingkramer went heads up against Jay Sookoo, another seasoned All Africa player and took down the title as follows:
Jay completes and Darren checks. The flop comes 4 5 2 and everybody checks, Turn is a Q and checks again, the river brings a 6 . Darren bets 120k and Jay moves all-in for all his chips.
Jay shows JK for King high and Darren shows 3 5 for a straight, taking down the All Africa Poker Tournament title and R1,000,000!
Jay Sookoo, eliminated in second place, won R435 000 and a WPT BOOTCAMP PACKAGE valued at R70,000.
Kingkramer is no novice to poker and we have seen him take down numerous tournaments online at Piggs Peak Poker, including winning his seat to the All Africa Poker Tournament. He has also featured on the final table previously at the All Africa Poker Tournament. Not only is he now a poker millionaire, but he will also be representing Team All Africa Poker at the WPT Bootcamp, taking place in the sunny Caribbean island of Punta Cana later this year. I am sure Darren will have some tips to offer other players himself... If you would like to follow in his footsteps and win your seat to the next All Africa poker Tournament, you can register today to play in one of the many online satellites available at Piggs Peak Poker.
Congratulations King! We are very proud of you!
