India Poker Tour
The India Poker Tour which will take place in autumn will have preliminary events starting in June 2008. The $1 million prize pool televised tournament is organised by the creators of the popular Asia Poker Classic, and is expected to show the growth in poker interest throughout India.
Four tournaments have been scheduled for this year, starting in September and concluding in November. Tournaments will begin in Mumbai, and move to Bangalore and New Delhi, before the final event is played in Goa; the only state in Indian to boast legalised casinos. Online satellites are set to begin in June, providing players with the chance to win a seat.
Players will be from around the globe, and those reasonably new to the game will benefit from a poker school which will be set up to teach players additional skills. Indian poker enthusiasts are hoping that this year they will improve on the third place position in the Asia Poker Classic last year which went to Indian player Pranav Bathija.
