WPT Brings Dream of Professional Poker to Weekend Players
The World Poker Tour is becoming famous across US local leagues for its heavy sponsorship and promotion of poker. For many years, local league players would simply get togethor with the club on weekends and play amongst themselves. Nowadays, ask any serious weekend player about his recent poker games and he will probably go on and on about his shot at playing in the next big WPT event. All of this is due to the WPT's recent focus on local sponsorship across the US and their involvement in local leagues and instructional clinics.
Local players across the US are frequently playing in 'satellite' events that offer the chance to play for big time money at a World Poker Tour final table. Another major factor is the WPT's involvement in charity events which offer the winner a chance to play for big time money on the professional stage.
According to Jason Reagan of Ft. Pierce, Florida, "I've been playing poker (Texas Hold'em) for about 5 years, mostly in local area leagues. Now I'm gunning for a WPT event."
The World Poker Tour partners with Host casinos all across the United States. They bring excitement and prosperity to a game that has taken on alot of recent criticism due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act of 2006 which caused the shutdown of major online poker outfits such as PartyPoker.
Here's a look at the upcoming schedule for the WPT:
12/14/06 - 12/19/06 Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic
01/05/07 - 01/10/07 PokerStars Caribbean Poker Adventure
