PRAGUE THE LATEST WORLD POKER TOUR STOP


Monday October 10, 2011 : Bwin.com to present new leg of a popular tournament presentation
 
World Poker Tour, a subsidiary of Bwin Party Digital, has confirmed that Bwin.com will be the presenting sponsor for its exciting new event in the Czech Republic capital of Prague.
 
The Euro 3,500 re-entry WPT Prague will take place at the stylish five-star Corinthia Hotel Prague from December 1 – 5, 2011.
 
This will be the first ever WPT Main Event held in the Czech Republic and will be an integral part of the inaugural Prague Poker Festival.
 
The exceptional venue for the tournament is commonly regarded as one of the city’s finest modern hotels, and is located on top of one of Prague’s nine hills, offering panoramic city views.
 
“WPT continues its commitment to expand throughout Europe. WPT Prague demonstrates our resolve to bring poker’s premier tour to exceptional venues in major European cities,” said Adam Pliska, president of the World Poker Tour.
 
“The action promises to be lively on and off the felt as the famous party city is always a popular destination in the month leading up to Christmas.”
 
WPT Prague presented by Bwin.com will be the seventh stop in Europe during the historic WPT Season X. This re-entry WPT Main Event will use the standard player-friendly structure recently introduced to WPT events in Europe by WPT executive tour director Matt Savage.
 
As a WPT Season X tour stop, the winner of WPT Prague will also be awarded a $25,500 seat in the 2012 WPT World Championship at Bellagio in Las Vegas.
