World Poker Tour Adds Five New Stops To Season XIII Schedule 0001

The World Poker Tour, currently in its 13th season, has added five additional events to the Main Tour for 2015. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open will take place from February 5-11, 2015, and then the WPT will return there from April 16-22 for the $5 million guarantee WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown.

In between, the WPT will be on a "California Swing" with main events at the Commerce Casino, Bay 101 Casino, and Thunder Valley Casino Resort. Here's a look at the five new stops:

  • Lucky Hearts Poker Open �� Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, February 5-11, 2015
  • L.A. Poker Classic �� Commerce Casino, February 28-March 5, 2015
  • Bay 101 Shooting Star �� Bay 101 Casino, March 9-13, 2015
  • Rolling Thunder �� Thunder Valley Casino Resort, March 14-18, 2015
  • Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown* �� Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, April 16-22, 2015

The WPT will also offer a leaderboard for the three-event California Swing portion of the tour. The player that accrues the most points at those stops will be awarded up to a six-nights' stay at the Crowne Plaza, complimentary ground transportation, and a complimentary massage at the Meridian Spa for the Season XIV WPT L.A. Poker Classic; Shooting Star status and complimentary air travel from Los Angeles or Las Vegas for the Season XIV WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star; and up to five-nights' stay in a suite and a $500 room credit for the Season XIV WPT Rolling Thunder.

��With Season XIII underway, I��m already looking forward to the second half of the schedule," said WPT Executive Tournament Director Matt Savage. "Soon enough the WPT Player of the Year race will heat up, and we��ll see the best players in the game travel to all of the premiere properties on the World Poker Tour and compete on the biggest stages in poker. I will once again be the tournament director of the California Swing, which was won by Michael Rocco in Season XII. Michael will enjoy several special amenities during the three Main Events this season, including 10 nights free accommodation at the Commerce Casino��s Crowne Plaza Hotel, a one-way private jet to San Jose from either Los Angeles or Las Vegas and Shooting Star status at Bay 101, and up to five nights in a free suite at the Thunder Valley Casino Resort with $500 in food and beverage credits during WPT Rolling Thunder.��

Season XIII will conclude at Borgata with the $15,400 buy-in WPT World Championship from April 24-29, 2015. In Season XII, Keven Stammen topped a field of 328 entries to win the WPT World Championship for $1.35 million, besting Byron Kaverman in heads-up play.
