UK's entrepreneurs of tomorrow are being sought by VC poker in their student poker championships that will also name a student as the poker champ in class.

Two projects invite players to participate in exercises that could build their skills in either business or cards.

The business competition allows students to practice being real VC poker brand managers for real cash reward, while they run the tournaments for the student poker challenge and also compete for prizes and supremacy.

The poker challenge gives debt-heavy students the chance to win up to $100,000 in the grand championship and whatever is in the prize pool at their local higher-learning establishment.

Lee Ferris, poker marketing manager for VC said: "We believe this is the world's most comprehensive student poker initiative which offers a unique mix of fun and opportunity."

He added it was: "At the same time giving students a real chance to pay off some of the costs of their all-important higher education."

The national championship of the poker challenge will be televised and feature the best UK student talent, making for a talent-rich showdown.
