WPT and WSOP ready to burn up Vegas

Las Vegas is all set for another high pressure round of big time tournament poker which kicks off next week, starting with the World Poker Tour's season ending World Championship at the Bellagio, and continuing with the World Series of Poker at the Rio. The WSOP runs a seven week stretch from late June to mid-August.

The WPT Championship, which runs April 18-24 and concludes the tour's fourth season, is a $25,000 buy-in, and is expected to attract as many as 600 players for a total prize pool of as much as $15 million and a first-place haul of $3.5 million.
