For the first time in history, the famous World Poker Tour is holding an event in the UK and Party Poker are offering amazing $12,000 packages to be won every week between now and the event.The World Poker Tour is the grandaddy of all the poker tours out there, the one that really started it all, so the fact that is has never been held in England is astonishing. However that oversight has been firmly righted by the announcement that this years WPT will visit Palm Beach Casino in Mayfair, London. Although it does seem like an odd name for a casino slapbang in the middle of London it’s a great setting for the first WPT in this land.

The Casino has an Art Deco feeling whilst feeling modern and vibrant inside and has a very classy atmosphere,  like the sort of casino you expect to see in a Bond film and is a superb setting for the pinnacle of poker tournaments.

The EPT takes place from August 29th to September 5th 2010 and qualification is running now, including the chance to win your seat for free. There is a main final every Sunday with one $12k package gtd and there are entry satellites for this all week long.

The WPT is one of the most recognisable and prestigious tournaments on the circuit and there is sure to be a lot of attention round this maiden UK tournament, which comes a close 2nd to the WSOP in terms of exposure.
