Wednesday 3rd January 2007 Small Town Poker Tour Lands in Louisiana
The Small Town Poker Tour (STPT) will kick off round one of its 2007 STPT Pro Am Series on January 17 in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The tournament is open to all poker players from around the world. The event winner will be rewarded with a spot at the STPT World Pro Am Championships in Las Vegas as well as a $5000 Visa Gift Card and a Championship Ring. Prizes will be given to the top 10 finishers.
'We are eager to bring this event to Lafayette,' said Mark Fracalossi, STPT executive producer. 'Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for the local charities plus give the players a great experience.'
The Small Town Poker Tour bills itself as the world's largest amateur poker tour, with emphasis on raising money for charity. The proceeds of this event will benefit the United Way of Acadiana.
The STPT also lends its hand behind the scenes in many high profile charity, corporate and celebrity events. 'We work with many celebrities and charities who want to use poker as a tool to raise money for their cause,' Fracalossi said.
