The Cannes poker bag

Some 1300 poker players are expected to arrive in Cannes for the VIP Poker Boat Tour, December 8-12 2009. The Fashion TV liner will be home to some serious playing, with guests staying on the liner or in hotels and a range of activities such as opening and closing parties, wine-tasting, barbecues, dancing and of course everything Cannes has to offer.

The event was originally planned for the island of Mallorca. Players can either purchase a direct buy-in (for a hefty $5000) or try and win a place playing poker. For details, check Blackmoon Poker. Find available hotels in Cannes listed by popularity.
