August and September World Poker Tour Events

The World Poker Tour is in full force with several events planned between now and the end of the year. In addition to the WPT Boot Camps, the WPT will be hosting two large WPT events in the months of August and September.

Located in Bell Gardens, California, The Bicycle Casino will host the WPT’s Legends of Poker event from August 23-28, 2008. The buy-in for the No-Limit Hold’Em Championship is $9,800 + $200. If you don’t have $10,000 to plop down on an entry fee, you can participate in one of the mega super satellites. The WPT event will also be hosting a Ladies No-Limit Hold’Em tournament for a $500 + $45 buy-in.
The Borgata Poker Open
Atlantic city, New Jersey will be hosting the Borgata Poker Open from September 14-18, 2008. As with the August event, the championship tournament features a $10,000 total buy-in and several satellites.
