7 December 2007

NPL's $15 000 buy-in event starts today


The National Poker League is kick-starting the week today (Monday) with the opening of the Las Vegas Open, a $15 000 buy-in No Limit Hold 'em gathering of champions in the world's best known gambling mecca.

High rollers from around the planet are scheduled to contest the event and test their mettle against the best players around, and in addition to the registered players, the winners from each stop on the NPL tour, including the Asia Open, Australian Open, United Kingdom Open and Vegas Open will all be competing, with entry part of their prizes from these events.

Satellites with buy-ins of $1 060 have also produced winning competitors for the big game, which was last year won by Keith Tilston.

Plans are in hand to televise the Las Vegas Open on the INHD network with Las Vegas radio personality Dave Farra and top poker player Kirk Morrison compering the event.
