World Poker Tour Season 8 Premieres January 24, Plus More WPT News

World Poker Tour season 8 premieres Sunday January 24 at 11 PM on FSN.

The WPT added Paris's Aviation Club back to its schedule. They last played there in 2006 for legal reasons. The tournament will take place at the end of season 8 in 2010, and will be filmed for television.

Other WPT newsbites:
  • Card Player talked to some of the WPT people about the tour's future. Expect more international events, the WPT to keep its own brand (it won't be labeled PartyPoker), and for them to encourage other online sites to run satellites to their events.
  • The WPT announced another non-TV event: WPT Bucharest.
  • Poker News Daily summarized the WPT's 2009. Alternatively, you can click our WPT label for all of our stories.
