Hi everyone, Basically i have just been accepted by the Guinness world records to attempt the “Longest continuous poker tournament”
This bit you may find insane the record is ” 48 hr 55 min 58.5 sec and was organized by the Asian Poker Tour (Philippines) in Makati, Philippines, from 13 to 15 December 2013.”
So what we need as many participants as possible. This will be great for University of south wales for publicity and it would be an incredible opportunity to actually beat a world record. Even if some people only want to play for a few hours this would mean they are contributing towards the record. I just need some time to plan no date is set yet. And need a place to do this thing! They said it has to be in a public place. Here is the letter they have sent me:
