Africa for Poker

March 29, 2009

Africa and poker don’t really seem like they would be synonymous with each other, but in a crazy way they are. Or at least they are at ChiliPoker.com. If you are just thinking about poker or Africa you would not connect the two together, but once you realize that the World Poker Tour (WPT) Tournament was going to be held in Africa it starts to make a lot more sense.

ChiliPoker.com is aware that the World Poker Tour Enterprises has announced that they will be holding their WPT Africa event in October at the Casino De Marrakech in Morocco. There will be a buy in of - €4,500, but some may be able to get in for less.

ChiliPoker.com has announced that they are going to help players get to that poker event – by having them compete online. You simply have to have an account at the online poker site, or at any one of the poker sites on the iPoker Network. Players will be able to compete in poker games through special online satellite tournaments and those that are lucky enough will take home the package for the flights, accommodation, and buy in for the first ever World Poker Tour in Africa.

World Poker Tour Africa has also announced that they will be having certain special events like high roller tournaments, a ladies only competition, or a celebrity invitational. The WPT could not be more thrilled with the idea of bringing the poker tour to Africa, or with partnering with the iPoker network to give others an opportunity to play.
