World Poker Tour (WPT) to Make a Splash in the Tampa Bay September 2-7

Immediately after the WPT Legends of Poker at The Bike in Los Angeles wraps, the World Poker Tour will head east to Florida for the $3,500 buy-in Seminole Hard Rock Tampa event, which runs September 3-7.

Legends of Poker, a $5,200 buy-in tournament from August 27 to September 1, is the start of a barrage of major WPT events throughout the rest of the year.

Second up is the trip to Tampa, followed by a trip to the Land Down Under (Australia) September 23, the highly-anticipated return of the Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio in Las Vegas starting October 19, a November 25 visit to South Florida and the Seminole Rock 'N' Roll Poker Open, before the historic $15 million guaranteed WPT World Championship at Wynn in Las Vegas December 12.
