WPT invites discussion

18 May 2007

LOS ANGELES, California -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- In preparation for a World Poker Tour® (WPT) final table structure review, WPT President, Founder, and CEO, Steve Lipscomb, today issued an open letter inviting the poker community to provide their ideas and input via online forum at www.worldpokertour.com.

Posted at the top of the forum, Lipscomb's open letter provides the poker community with a detailed look at the current structure, which was designed by select players in consultation with tournament director, Jack McClelland. The letter also provides an in-depth look at all elements that must be considered when staging a WPT final table.

The WPT Season VI kicks off tomorrow, May 19, with the Mirage Poker Showdown in Las Vegas. Season VI episodes will begin airing in early 2008 as part of GSN's Monday night casino lineup where the network has built a substantial following in the casino game genre. Season V currently airs every Wednesday night on the Travel Channel at 9PM Eastern/Pacific.
