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.
