PokerStars Launches Italian Poker Tour
|
 June 1 - Popular online poker room, PokerStars kicks off its inaugural Italian Poker Tour in San Remo today in a land based event that is sure to delight the crowds.
Last week, PokerStars announced the launch of the tour in collaboration with its sponsored Italian professional, Luca Pagano who has done much to bring poker onto the map in Italy.
In a press release, the Manager for PokerStars in Italy, Fabio Angeli Bufalini said: "PokerStars is really happy with the developments in live and online poker in Italy. The great success has been registered on the PokerStars.it website and the record breaking turnout for the San Remo leg of the PokerStars Season 5 EPT makes us hopeful that the PokerStars Italian Poker Tour will arouse huge interest in Italy and all over Europe."
The competition will run for six days, before a champion is finally crowned.
In the days leading up to the Italian Poker Tour, PokerStars held exciting satellites at its Italian site, where buy ins were available for as little as 5 Euro. On Friday night, the site gave away 10 San Remo packages in a 100 Euro buy in event.
Linking with Luca Pagano should give the Italian Poker Tour the boost it needs. This player has been particularly successful in the European Poker Tour, also run by PokerStars,
Meanwhile, PokerStars has also sent a strong delegation to the World Series of Poker event in Las Vegas which kicked off this week. Pros such as Peter Eastgate, Chris Moneymaker, Joe Hachem and Greg Raymer have all won WSOP main events in the past, and they will be joined by other top players such as Daniel Negreanu and Bertrand Grospellier.
The final tables of the Italian Poker Tour can be viewed on Italia 1.
