World Poker Tour: The Alpha8 will come in London and Johannesburg
The poker tournament Alpha8 is a new circuit that the World Poker Tour inaugurated at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open in August of this year. The organizers revealed on Thursday the new steps of this High Roller event. The WPT Alpha8 continues its first season with a stage in the United Kingdom and another one in South Africa. The English step of the WPT Alpha8 will be held from October 28th of this year, at Palm Beach Casino in London. Participants should pay £100,000 of buy-in to take part in this poker event. October will be very full for enthusiasts of High Roller and especially regulars of live poker in the city of London. In fact, the High Roller tournaments of the month are going to start with the Super High Roller at £50,000 of the European Poker Tour of London, from October 4th, 2013.
After London, the circuit will link up with a step in Johannesburg in South Africa from February 14th, 2014. The Emperors Palace Hotel & Casino Resort will be the host of this event at $100,000 buy-in. High stakes tournaments take a special place in the world of poker and always arouse the interest of great players. The proof, a large number of players move in Macau to participate in high-stakes cash games. The president of the WPT, Adam Pliska, is enthusiast concerning the holding of the second step of the Alpha8 in London. Tony Pearce, managing director of the London Genting Casinos UK Ltd, agrees with this idea.
