Poker pro Antonio Esfandiari has been added to the famous names already enlisted to participate in the William Hill Grand Prix, scheduled to kick off on October 18. Among the 56 players slated to compete are poker stars including Gus Hansen, Surinder Sunar, Tony G, Juha Helppi, and Barny Boatman.

The William Hill Grand Prix will be held in a tiered shootout format. Accordingly, the winner of each table will advance to the final table, while all other players are eliminated from the competition. Runners up from all the tables will get a second chance, when they will compete against each other for a seat at the final table.

The ten day shoot-out poker event will be filmed, and is to air in the UK this December.
