Dates for Purple Lounge & Moore Magazine Swedish Poker Tour Confirmed -- Online Qualification Dates Released

London, UK (PRWeb) March 24, 2007 -- After much anticipation, the qualification tournament dates for the Purple Lounge/Moore magazine poker tour have been released. Qualification for the eagerly anticipated tour will be online, via a series of evening tournaments - each tournament corresponding to the city in which each live free roll will take place.

The tour has already caused quite a stir amongst the poker community, with news that the hot Moore magazine girls will be touring too receiving a warm welcome. Aylar Lie, top Scandinavian model, singer and the face of Purple Lounge has confirmed that she will once again be dealing at this year's poker tour. Michelle Orpe, Poker Night Live presenter and newest member of the Purple Lounge team, will also be on hand, dealing as well as meeting players on the tour. And one of Sweden's top poker players, the hugely successful Bo Sehlstedt has confirmed he will be playing on the tour as well!

Seats for the final will be hotly contested and the standard will be high, judging by last year's Norwegian poker tour.
