Has a familiar ring to it, eh?
It seems that the World Poker Tour is in the process of creating some type of WPT Europe, in addition to the WPT schedule that pretty much stays within the U.S. border with the one exception of Canada. The WPT signed an agreement, the details of which are yet to be released, with Group Perelada in Spain.
In today\’s press conference, Steve Lipscomb only touched on the subject but said the following:
\”We are expanding our presence in Europe and other international markets as we go into the online gaming space, and as we do that, we\’re taking those markets piece by piece… This year, we\’re going to do a WPT Europe event. We\’re going to be doing regional tours similar to what we\’re doing in China… Those audiences, as we understand, are very hungry for programming as they grow their own poker world, and we\’re going to help them and grow it together.\”
