A new season, a new destination for the ParadisePoker Tour as the continent’s premier medium buy-in event shuffles up and deals in the Algarve this weekend.The first stop of the second term is the Casino de Vilamoura, home of the European Poker Tour, which is located within a chip’s toss of the stunning beach, top class local cuisine and buzzing nightlife.
Along with the setting, the freshly inflated €125,000 guaranteed prize pool is sure to drag in another sell-out field for the Saturday and Sunday's Main Event - and we'll be right here, covering every moment.
ParadisePoker’s Portuguese poker manager, Miguel Russo, admits he was thrilled to finally add Vilamoura to the PPT map: “I’m really excited because not only have we been added to the stops on the PPT, but we are getting to kick-off the season so it’s great for players here and abroad."
Budding poker stars or established players alike will find plenty to make the trip worthwhile, with many expected to combine the event with an extended break on the Portuguese coast.
“Vilamoura is where the Portuguese go for their summer,” explained Russo. “It’s a great resort with great nightlife, nice food and is right by the sea. There are also plenty of golf courses around, a favourite pastime for many poker players I know, and plenty of beautiful girls too.
“The Casino Vilamoura is 50 metres from the beach and it’s possible to walk from the tournament area to a balcony and look out at the ocean. It hosts plenty of big poker events and even has its own disco – so a party is guaranteed!"
