WPT’S SEASON IX SUCCESS CONTINUES AS LEGENDS OF POKER AT THE BICYCLE CASINO CROWNS NEW CHAMPION // 08-27-2010
The slate of recent changes to the World Poker Tour® (WPT) continues to have a positive impact as 462 players bought in for Legends of Poker at The Bicycle Casino, a 66% percent increase over the previous year’s tournament.
This was the second consecutive WPT event that has seen significant growth, as July’s Bellagio Cup saw a field of 353, a 32% rise in attendance.
“We are excited to be back at The Bicycle Casino for Legends of Poker. As a charter member of WPT, visiting The Bike really is returning home,” said WPT President Adam Pliska. “The team here has worked tirelessly to deliver the top-notch tournament action WPT players have come to expect.”
“As a longtime partner, we were thrilled with all of the additions WPT made for this year’s Legends of Poker event,” said Kelley O’Hara, Director of Marketing for The Bicycle Casino. “The players responded, attendance was up and there was a tremendous buzz around the tournament from Day 1.”
The players have definitely noticed WPT’s changes. |

Welcome to the Poker Rating! Poker Rating's goal is to range online poker rooms worldwide and provide analysis of the rates. This rating is based on votes from all sorts of poker players. If you have ever played poker with any poker roomfrom this list, please rate it. You may rate several online poker rooms, but only once a day. First day of every month all rating results are brought to naught. Starting a monthly rating from zero allows to identify a monthly gambling winner and thus more objectively display the voters' opinion. We rate poker rooms by the actual number of votes. Monthly voting statistics can be found .
