WPBT
Back in the early days of blogging a ragtag group of poker bloggers got together in Las Vegas for a showdown. Some of the biggest names in blogging showed up and played poker until they crowned a champion. These poker bloggers adopted the name World Poker Blogger Tour WPBT and have been throwing a tournament or two a year in Vegas ever since.
WPBT events have included speakers such as Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Barry Greenstein, Tom McEvoy, and many others. We've even had the likes of Marcel Luske, Evelyn Ng, Joe Sebok, and Max Pescatori pop in just to say hi. Hell, Max even stuck around and went deep in the very first WPBT tournament.
You're truly was the very first person out at that inaugural WPBT event but came back strong the very next one and took home 1st place!

- WPBT Banner Request
Joaquin sent me an email recently suggesting that we design a banner that can be served up via JavaScript (for those of you who can’t host images) that would point to the info page for the Winter Classic in Las Vegas. Since my design skills rank just above being able to scribble, I thought [...]

Lots of news:
1. We are now closed to any further players. We maxed out! Technically, we could beg the IP to put us in a bigger room and add more tables but we would like to keep the length of the tournament reasonable while keeping the blind structure semi-sane. We’re already [...]

- WPBT Cutoff
Just a quick note to let folks know that we’re starting to approach our threshold for the WPBT event in terms of number of players (we’re just under 90 players as of this morning). We’ve got about 5 spots left before we would have to start changing our plans around at the IP (i.e. [...]

Now that the WPBT update page has slipped off the main screen I wanted to remind people that they should keep checking that page for updates about the event. There’s a link to the page in the upper right hand navigation in case you forget.
So where are we at?
We’ve got a few [...]

I’ve been seeing some of these Frapper maps created via Google’s Maps, so I thought I would throw one together for the WPBT. Just enter your name and zip (and attache a photo if you so choose) and people can see where you’re from.
Enjoy
