This year, Bellagio Hotel Resort and Casino in Las Vegas host The Fourth World Poker Tour. This spectacular event starts on April 5th with two-day no-limit holdem tournaments, including a seniors event and “a last chance to qualify” super satellite. On April 18, the 25.000 dollars championship will begin, with final table filming on April 24.
Bellagio is excited to host the WPT World Championship for the fourth consecutive year as the grand finale of the 5 Star World Poker Classic. The number of participants increases every tournament and the prize pools continue to set new highs. Tuan Le will return to defend last year’s WPT Championship title, which included a bracelet, the trophy, a silver platter and of course, the money. Le outlasted a field of 452 players to reach the exciting up and down final table. Le, who was severely short-stacked, rebounded to survive blinds, bluffs and fate and won 2.856.150 dollars. Second place finisher, Paul Maxfield, took home nearly 1.7 million dollars.
