Our poker table at the casino has a good reputation of running a fair and clean game, even though some people have accused me of rigging the shuffle machine after I beat them (LOL). We have refused play to known cheaters will continue to do so.

We have a very experienced professional tournament director who is involved with the World Series of Poker who keeps play fair and organized (not an easy task!) plus we have a great surveillance team that will catch any cheating or 'team play' as can be found often in Dominican poker rooms. So anybody can win but most importantly its great fun. I got 3rd place myself even though I just started playing TX Holdem No Limit games last November. A girl friend of mine from The Bahamas, who had never played in a tournament or for real money before (but had some internet experience) got 14th place. The tour doesn’t expect the changes to affect the players.Our first tournament in April was a great success, with 55 participants which was a mix of expatriates, Dominicans, and even some tourists. Season 4 is set to kickoff at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood with an $1,100 Main Event featuring a $1 million guarantee January 19-24. We look forward to continuing to innovate, expand, and offer the most player-friendly tournaments at the world’s most beautiful properties.” Partnering with the World Poker Tour to form WPTDeepStacks cemented the brand as poker’s premier mid-major tour. Torina is WPTDeepStacks Executive Director and said, “We are excited to take our relationship with the World Poker Tour to the next level. “Over the years, Chris Torina has become a friend and a great steward of the WPT brand, and he and his team have built WPTDeepStacks into one of the most established brands in poker.”

“The World Poker Tour is proud to acquire WPTDeepStacks,” Adam Pliska, CEO of the WPT, said.

The DeepStacks Poker Tour formed a partnership with the WPT in 2014 to replace WPT Regional events. The World Poker Tour announced Tuesday that its parent company, WPT Enterprises, Inc., took full ownership and operations of the WPTDeepStacks tour.
