October has a horrifying number of land tournaments(credit: You Tube)
October is a busy, busy month for the poker world. The World Series of Poker Europe Main Event will crown a new champion (yes, Annette got knocked out on her Day One, much to our chagrin). The EPT will play out its European Poker Championships at the Vic in London. Ultimate Bet will complete its Aruba Poker Classic in the Caribbean.
In addition, the World Poker Tour will go through one major tournament series and start at least one more. The World Series of Poker Circuit will hold two title series, the World Heads-Up Championship will go on in Barcelona without sponsorship and…PaddyPowerPoker, LadbrokesPoker and PartyPoker will hold their own Irish Poker Festivals. Oh yes, October is an interesting and exciting month for poker.
