The World Poker Tour added three more dates to its season five schedule and also announced plans for two ladies-only events and a special "Bounty Hunters" event.
The Borgata, Bellagio, and Foxwoods casinos each had an additional event added, giving them two main events for season five, which began in May with the Mirage Poker Showdown. It ends in April of 2007 with the WPT World Championship at the Bellagio. The complete schedule appears below. The dates for some of the events have changed, so be sure to recheck them before booking trips.
The dates for three WPT specials have also been confirmed. Two ladies night events will take place in season five. The first is Aug. 31 at the Bicycle Casino; the next is April 28, which is the day after the World Championship and also takes place at the Bellagio.
The WPT also announced that an event called the WPT Bounty Hunters will take place at the Borgata Sept. 18. This event features six pros starting out with $250,000 in chips and a $5,000 price on their heads. Whenever someone knocks another player out, he receives the cash, but the bounty of the victim is also placed on his head.
The prize pool to this event is a $25,000 seat to the WPT Championship and $50,000 in bounties. The players who play at this table will be decided by WPT fans who vote at the Travel Channel's website.
Three tournaments have already taken place for season five (The Mirage Poker Showdown, Mandalay Bay Poker Championship, and the Grand Prix de Paris). The rest of the schedule follows:
