The Partypoker WPT500 at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham kicks off this Sunday, Nov. 9 at 16:00 GMT with the first of seven starting flights. The ��500 buy-in event allows one reentry per day and already some big names have committed to playing including Nottingham boxing legend Carl ��The Cobra�� Froch, who will play the last-chance Day 1 turbo heat �C which will feature 15-minute levels �C that will take place at 12.00 GMT on Saturday, Nov. 15.

In addition, Froch will join forces with Team partypoker��s Mike Sexton for the traditional ��shuffle up and deal.�� Earlier this year Froch packed Wembley Stadium for one of the biggest fights in British boxing history, but now he��s set his sites on poker.

��To see a big World Poker Tour event come to my home city is great news for everybody in Nottingham �C I hope we can pack Dusk Till Dawn like we did Wembley Stadium,�� Froch said. ��I��m not the most serious of poker players but with a ��500 entry and the chance to win a share of at least ��1 million this tournament is very accessible so I look forward to playing for partypoker. Make no mistake though, if you are at my table I want to knock you out! You never know if the poker goes well in Nottingham it could be time to take the big game to Vegas.��

From Nov. 18-23, Dusk Till Dawn will also host a ��3,000 buy-in WPT Main Event, and plenty of notables are already confirmed to play including Sexton, Sam Trickett, Dave ��Devilfish�� Ulliott, Toby Lewis, Marcel Luske, Craig McCorkell, Luke ��FullFlush1�� Schwartz, Sylvain Loosli and Barny Boatman.
