WPT in Milwaukee?

[lawpoker]

there's been a rumor floating around that the WPT MIGHT be here (milwaukee) in october. can anyone confirm/deny such rumors? there are in fact two open dates in october, and that's when it's rumored to occur.

thanks in advance.

I somehow don't think that the Potawotami Casino has quite enough big name draw to make the WPT coming to our little ol' Wisconsin worth while.

I was there yesterday. No banners, no bragging, no chatter. Not happening.

How about putting one in Canterbury Park in Minnesota? That would be a great idea in my opinion.

I agree with you. The last place I'd expect a major poker tournament to be held is at a casino with 'Bingo' in its name.

Not going to happen. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

The WPT licenses B&M casinos to hold offical WPT satellites. 3 were held this year at a small (@ 20 table) poker room in albuquerque in the sandia casino. Perhaps that is the rumor you are hearing.
