The 2006 WPT is Here
The online casino has made poker the most popular gambling game in the world. Considering the fact that so many people love playing at the online casino, it is not at all surprising that more and more people are checking out American favorites such as Texas Hold'em and Omaha Hi/Lo. In fact, so many online casino fans around the world are getting good enough at these great poker games that they want to participate in the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker; both of which are being held in Las Vegas.

The World Poker Tour, better known as the WPT is not too easy to get in to. Sure, almost anyone can join the tournament, anyone who has $25,500 to spare that is. And even if you are able to pay the heavy buy-in plus entry fee, you are up against the best players in the world; even for the best online casino player this is no easy feat. Yesterday marked the start of the 2006 WPT, and if you weren't good enough to play this year, you have an entire year to practice!

The tournament is being held in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. For those of you who aren't well versed in Las Vegas casinos, you may know the Bellagio from Ocean's 11. Anyway, the tournament lasts for 6 days with the final table being held on April 24th. Poker fans, both of the online casino and land-based casino, can watch the action on the Travel Channel or even find some live feeds over the web. Enjoy the fun and good luck to all you poker players out there!
