The first stop of GSOP Live season 2 will soon start at Manchester United’s famous Old Trafford stadium. On Friday 5 August, during day 3 of the Grand Series of Poker’s main event, all players who qualified for a full prize package through the online finals on the Ongame poker network can watch the testimonial match between Manchester United and New York Cosmos for Paul Scholes.
Paul Scholes has now called an end to his wonderful playing career for the recently crowned Premier League champions.
-”This is going to be a big night for me and my family but one which I intend to enjoy and I will savour every moment,” says Scholes on Manchester United’s official website. “I have spent my whole footballing life at Manchester United, so this will be an emotional farewell.” And it will also be an emotional night for fans of the Red Devils with one of Man Utd’s most acclaimed and respected players making a return to Old Trafford – now Director of Soccer at the New Your Cosmos, Eric Cantona will be pitched head-to-head against his former manager – Sir Alex Ferguson.
Paul Scholes made nearly 700 appearances for Manchester United, in which he claimed a monumental 24 winners’ medals in 17 seasons. Former France international player Zinedine Zidane says he is “undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation.”
In his last appearance in a Manchester United shirt, Paul Scholes will team up with a side of Manchester United veterans for a final game in his honour.
-“To play the first-ever poker tournament within the walls of Old Trafford and enjoy a footballing spectacular for one of the game’s true greats will be an amazing experience for any fan of poker and football,” says David Pittel, Managing Director of Ongame Network. “Having many of the biggest sportsbook brands on our network we’re really excited to offer a poker event with the Champions League finalists and Premier League champions providing the backdrop at the very same time”.
There is no cost for players. All they have to do is qualify through Ongame, and then sign up for the match at the welcome party on 2 August. Direct buy-ins are available at www.gsoplive.com.
