World Poker Tour recently announced a new tournament that will be held in Africa. The new event will take place in October 2009 and many online poker rooms will be offering prize packages for online players to earn a spot at the event. One such poker room is ChiliPoker.

ChiliPoker and other iPoker Network poker rooms will be holding satellites beginning April 9th. Players can participate in the satellite tournaments and possibly win a prize package that includes the accommodations, flights and the buy-in for the first every WPT Africa event.

The WPT Africa event will take place at the Casino De Marrakech in Morocco and the buy in for the tournament will be €4,500. Side events will take place as well for those who would like to compete in several events.
