What better way to play poker than to do it in one of the most romantic and exciting places on earth – Venice?! It seems that the people of World Poker Tour and bwin have realized that not only is poker great no matter where you play it, but it can only be made better by offering it in Venice.

The WPT and bwin have announced their partnership to create the first ever WPT poker tournament in Italy and they are calling it WPT Venice. The poker tournament will offer not only the excitement and competitiveness of the World Poker Tour but it will also offer the game in the Casino di Venezia – which is on the east bank of the Grand Canal and is considered to be one of the most beautiful casinos ever.

The main event will be televised as will the final table and the crowning of the first ever WPT Venice Champion, and you will be able to watch is on Web-TV at the online poker site. The WPT says that they are absolutely thrilled to be able to offer this poker tournament, and that they expect that there will be more to follow. They say that the partnership between them and the online poker site is a strong one and they think that they will be able to move into other areas of Europe and the rest of Italy.

For their part, bwin says that this is simply a demonstration of their dedication to their customers. They say that they are excited because this puts them on the road to becoming the “premier gaming destination for poker players” and it allows them to work within both the online poker realm and the brick and mortar one. The event will surely prove to be exciting for all involved, and you can bet that it will be sold out soon, so you’d better act quickly if you want a part of the excitement.
