Today, the World Poker Tour and the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA announced a five-year extension of their longstanding relationship.
The extension will see the Legends of Poker remain a WPT event through 2015. The agreement ensures the Legends of Poker event will maintain its position on the tour and the WPT televised series until at least Season XIV.
“The Bicycle Casino has been an enthusiastic and devoted venue partner and the WPT is proud to continue its association with the incredibly popular Legends of Poker event and the team behind it,” WPT President Adam Pliska wrote in a press release. “The Bicycle Casino is a charter member of the WPT and this extension will allow us to build on a tradition of collaboration and best-in-class poker started in 2002.”
The Legends of Poker is held in August each year, and this year’s WPT Legends of Poker $5,000 no-limit hold’em main event will air on Fox Sports Net in early 2011. The event was won by Andrew Frankenberger for $750,000.
