WPT to Host New Tournament in Morocco
The World Poker Tour announced recently that they would be teaming up with the ChiliPoker website to host a new poker tournament in Morocco. This stop will be just one more addition to the long list of stops on the Tour.
The new tournament stop will take place this October at the Casino de Marrakech. This will be the first ever tournament event to take place on the WPT schedule in Africa. ChiliPoker will be holing satellite tournaments for those who want to qualify for the Morocco event as well as other websites.
Alexandre Dreyfus, the Chief Executive Officer for ChiliPoker commented that the company is glad to be associated with the World Poker Tour. Dreyfus also commented: “With the creation of World Poker Tour Marrakech, ChiliPoker also intends to emphasize Marrakesh’s attributes as a highly desirable destination for European and African poker players.”
This stop should be very interesting for the World Poker Tour. We may find that the next poker superstar is discovered from that area.
