2009 World Poker Finals Series Begins

2009 World Poker Finals Series Begins

Wednesday, 21 October 2009

The World Poker Tour has moved to the world-famous Foxwoods Casino, Connecticut, with a fantastic selection of 20 poker tournaments including the big daddy – a $15,000 World Poker Tour championship event.

This year’s schedule includes Hold ‘em, Omaha, H.O.R.S.E. and everything in between. The championship event begins on November 5. Last year the Foxwoods event brought declining numbers but the recent success of the Borgata Poker Open should encourage more players to stump up the fifteen large.
