WPT LEAVES FRANCE
The WPT is one of the very well known live poker event in the world along with WSOP. In recent few years, the World Poker Tour made a stop in France with the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris and the World Poker Tour Amnéville. In 2010, on its very first visit, the WPT had huge ambition on the future of this event in France. The Main event of the championship hosted a field of 543 participants, who paid a € 3500 buy-in, but several players accepted of having been not happy with this step in the Lorraine region.
Sam El Sayed grabbed the 2010 World Poker Tour Amnéville championship and earned a sum of € 426000. Next year, the event saw a huge fall in spectator attendance with 379 poker players as of this disappointed.
Faced with this slump of the spectators’ attendance rate as well as the geographical position less glamorous, the WPT decided not to have a new contract for 2012 for another step of the World Poker Tour in Seven Casino Amnéville.
Even if the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris in the year 2011, recorded the similar decrease than the previous year, nut Paris is Paris and more than that it must also be noted that the € 7500 buy-in was two times of that of Amnéville. In spite if this tough news, Casino is already concentrating on another main event in France called the France Poker Series.
This event is planned to begin from 10th May and to continue till 13th May for an € 1100 buy-in. To get back to the international event’s circuit, Seven Casino could be the brand new host for the European Poker Tour.

ONLINE POKER COMING SOON
John B Wefing, an expert on the New Jersey Constitution and Seton Hall Law School professor told an Assembly committee that N J legislature can pass a bill which can authorize online poker without putting it to voters in ballot question this November.
Mr Wefing told that such a bill will not violate the constitution provision of the state that Atlantic City have a gaming monopoly in the state. He further said that an online poker bet will not be completed until a server in Atlantic City accepted the wager. In 1976, state voters approved a ballot which gave Atlantic City the unique status on gambling.
Wefing said that the the original purpose was to improve conditions in Atlantic City and if the Legislature and the governor agreed that online gambling will help Atlantic city then such a addition is consistent. It is to be noted that the legislature passed the online poker bill last March, but it was vetoed by Governor Christie with several objections whose main concern was the “legal fiction” it could cause.
Christie said that he is working with the sponsors of the bill and that he is waiting for guidance from the office of the Attorney General on whether the bill is constitutional or not. Meanwhile Assemblyman John Burzichelli said that the Assembly is now turning their attention to the budget of the state and hence it will be several weeks before the online poker bill is tabled.
