World Poker Tour Hits The Borgata

The World Poker Tour Season Three has reached the Borgata in Atlantic City this week, drawing 302 players allowing for a $3,020,000 prize pot, a $1,845,000 increase over last year's inaugural event. The winner of this year's $10,000 buy-in event will take home $1,117,400 and will advance to the WPT Championship when the tour's season culminates at Bellagio in April 2005.

The Borgata is inviting the public to be part of the final table audience and to join the first ever ‘WPT viewing party’ where they can fine-tune their game, win prizes, and socialize with other poker enthusiasts. Admission is free, and the first 1000 guests will receive a collectible WPT poker chip to commemorate the event. The doors open at 3:30 PM.

Amongst of the notables currently playing at the Borgata are defending champion Noli Francisco, in addition to WPT stars Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, Phil 'The Unabomber' Laak, and Antonio Esfandiari.
