Poker Feast on TV
Poker, a game played all over the world, is going to appear and entertain us once again on TV. Lakes Gaming Inc. is about to launch World Poker Tour. It will consist of 13 poker tournaments worldwide with a lot of money to be made. At every each one of these events, finalists will be playing for millions. Winners of each tournament will move on to the grand finale at the end of the exciting season. Everyone, who can afford a $25,000 buy-in, is allowed to take part in the contest and attempt to get into the final. Lyle Berman, the head of Lakes Gaming Inc. and a professional player, and Steven Lipscomb, who heads World Poker Tour, became shareholders of this enterprise.
On May 26th at a Bellagio reception in Las Vegas the tournament started out. On the next day, poker action began with Five Diamond World Poker Classic. The final of this contest was marked on June 1st. It was taped and the TV station will show it in the near future.
