WPT revises final table structures

[doublejoker]

Heres the info:

Again, I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for all of the constructive input we have received from players and casino partners alike. We continue to work to make the player experience at WPT events unmatched in the industry.

I am writing to share our progress as we explore various tournament structures to determine the optimal formula. As most of you know, rather than implementing the standard WPT final table structure at the Bellagio Cup III in July, we let the tournament structure play out to address some of the feedback we've received. That experience has led us to try the same structure again (both preliminary days and final table) at the upcoming Legends of Poker Tournament August 25th – 30th at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles and the Gulf Coast Poker Championship at the Beau Rivage September 6th – 9th in Biloxi Mississippi.

Acting on another suggestion, we plan to use a new final table structure with longer levels at the Borgata Poker Open September 16th -20th in Atlantic City. We look forward to input from players and tournament staff alike regarding how these changes affect the experience.

This fall offers many new opportunities for players to compete for a WPT title. Season VI features the most diverse schedule in WPT history. I strongly suggest you check out our new tour stops at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi, Club Med/Players Club in the Turks & Caicos, and Casino Barcelona/Casino Peralada in Barcelona, Spain. You can access the full Season VI tournament schedule and more information at http://www.worldpokertour.com/tourna...&type=wpt.

I will be at the Bicycle Casino deli on August 27th from 2-4 p.m. if anyone would like to talk to me directly.

Hope to see you there.



Regards,

Steve
