The first full week in January will see the start of the first major poker tournaments of the New Year, and the first month is going to be a busy one after the slow holiday tournament poker season. The European Poker Tour PokerStars Caribbean Adventure will begin on Jan. 5, 2009 and Card Player’s live coverage team along with CardPlayer TV will be at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas to bring you all of the action in live updates, chip counts, photos, and videos. The World Poker Tour will stage their first stop of 2009 in January, and the EPT will host its second in France. The WPT Southern Poker Championship will take place in Biloxi from Jan. 14-17 and EPT Deauville will take place from Jan. 20-24. Other highlights for the month include the Aussie Millions, Borgata Winter Open, a Latin American Poker Tour stop in Chile, and the start of a massive Los Angeles Poker Classic series of events at Commerce Casino that will run into mid-February. There will be seven tournament championship events in the busy first month of the year.
