WPT Alpha8 Heads to St. Kitts

The World Poker Tour has announced that St. Kitts will be the home of the next WPT Alpha8 event…

QUICK TURNAROUND

WPT LogoThere will be little time to rest for the high states pros currently playing WPT Alpha London as WPT Alpha8 St. Kitts is set for just a few weeks from now on November 16-17, 2013.

Like all other Alpha8 events, St. Kitts will offer a $100,000 buy-in for its event that will be hosted by the St. Kitts Marriott Resort & Royal Beach Casino.

WPT President Adam Pliska: “St. Kitts is the perfect setting in which to watch some of the boldest amateur players put their games to the test against the highest-profile professionals.” “The island’s unspoiled beauty will also provide for compelling television in a tropical environment that is both relaxed and inspiring for those seeking a glimpse into this exclusive and exotic lifestyle.”

BILL PERKINS TO HOST

Perkins, who considers St. Kitts as his second home, is no stranger to these huge buy-in events. He participated in the original million dollar buy-in Big One for One Drop and followed that up with a third place finish at this summer’s 111K buy-in One Drop High Roller.

As usual, the event will be filmed for broadcast on Fox Sports 1 sometime in 2014 – hopefully you will be able to catch the event in your neck of the woods sometime next year as well.
