World Poker Tour ups the ante
The World Poker Tour returns to South Africa for a third consecutive season at the home of poker, Emperors Palace.
There will be 10 events scheduled from November 6 to 16.
With entry fees ranging from R2 300 up to R67 000, there’s no reason to be calling anyone’s bluff at the Palace of Dreams.
Tournaments will take place in the Theatre of Marcellus.
Last year, Daniel Brits outlasted a field of 191 entries to win Season XII WPT Emperors Palace Poker Classic Main Event, earning R1 459 538.
Several top professionals have already been confirmed for the season.
Along with the satellite tournaments that kicked-off on October 17 to November 14 and the official tournament taking place from November 6 to 15, a celebrity tournament will take place along with a VIP cocktail party on November 11 with all proceeds from the celebrity event going to Feed SA charity.
Feed SA will also benefit from the Ladies Event where again all proceeds will profit the NPO and will be handed over at the celebrity charity event.
This year’s event promises to continue the trend of the WPT Emperors Palace Poker Classic being the biggest poker event in Gauteng.

Satellite Tournaments will once again provide the opportunity for players to enter the tournament through a cheaper channel. Official satellite tournaments began on October 17 at Emperors Palace.
