Online poker room LadbrokesPoker.com is holding a special free promotion tomorrow offering players the chance to compete against the infamous card shark from Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, English actor Nick Moran.

The 40-year-old Londoner recently became the face of LadbrokesPoker.com and will be playing live from 8pm tomorrow against anyone who wants to participate in The Short List Freeroll tournament.

The Gibraltar-licensed domain revealed that this is the first of a series of online poker tournaments set to give players the opportunity to ‘bluff, raise, re-raise and check your way to victory against Moran and the LadbrokesPoker.com community’.

With the help of poker professional Jon ‘skalie’ Kalmar, Moran is also hosting weekly instalments of the Ladbrokes Poker School, which offers players tips to take them from novice to expert in every aspect of the game.

“Follow Nick Moran’s progress via the light-hearted Poker School videos and improve your own poker skills at the same time,” read a statement from LadbrokesPoker.com.

“If you are a beginner to poker or have been playing poker for a while, there is something here that will make your poker experience more enjoyable and, hopefully, more profitable.

“The Poker School episodes are supported with a series of video tutorials, poker articles and poker podcasts that are all designed to provide you with a comprehensive guide to playing poker. Simply click on the button of your choice on the right hand side of poker videos and you will be presented with support materials for the episode.

“Each week over the next eight weeks a new episode will be added to the Poker School and will be supported by some fantastic tournaments where you can win some fabulous prizes.”
