New dates announced by National Poker League
The National Poker League today announced the schedule for their ambitious 2007 Global Open, a tour made up of four major international events. NPL is adding money to the prize pool of each event.
Currently announced events include a Paris Open, a UK Open, an Asia Open and a Vegas Open. Plans are for the events to each be spread across 6 one-hour television episodes.
According to event organizers, the goal for the tournaments is to “reach Europe’s highest attendance and prize pool.” As Edna Dailton, Vice President of Operations for NPL put it: “NPL is not an American or European tour, it’s a true worldwide poker circuit open to everyone. NPL wants to redefine the tour. As a strong advocate of poker, we feel it’s no longer a game but an established sport.”
