World Poker Tour Legends 2010 : Beginning of the Main Event on Friday
The Main Event of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Legends 2010 will start this Friday, August 20th. Note that this tournament is currently underway at Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles, California. For the first time since 2005, participants in the Main Event should pay a buy-in which amount does not exceed $ 10,000. Indeed, the entry fee for the main event of the WPT Legends has been set at $ 5,000 with $ 4,800 + $ 200. There will be two day tournament and a No-Limit Hold'em on next August 25th to crown the future winner. Despite this lowered buy-in, the champion will leave anyway with a nice prize of over a million dollars and five finalists will receive more than $100.000. Poker enthusiasts who joined the Bicycle Casino have to pass the 22 preliminary events offered by the organizers, among other HORSE tournaments, Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better, Limit Omaha 8 or better, half stud half Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, Shootout, Deepstack, accessible to a buy-in of $ 225 to $ 545.
Last year, the title went to Prahlad Friedman, who ousted the pro of the November nine of the World Series of Poker 2009 Kevin Schaffel in the final head's up. The champion has shown immense talent in this competition. Qualifying satellite tournaments to win seats in the main event are taking place in Los Angeles since Wednesday. Thus, poker fans will find themselves on the tables of Bicycle Casino on Friday to contest the title of WPT Legends 2010. After the main event, other very exciting events one to another will close in style this great festival of poker.
