Inaugural Indian Poker Tour Announced

This autumn sees the launch of the first Indian Poker Tour (IPT), which will see four tournaments take place in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Goa, and a total prize pool of $1 million up for grabs.

The tour is expected to attract India’s top players, as well as some of the world’s biggest names, in the wake of the successful $1 million Asian Poker Classic last year.

Imran Hassan, the tour’s director of operations, said, “Our goal is to add poker to the pastimes of the card and sport-crazed fans of India [which] traditionally has had a long history of being a card-loving nation. So, we hope the launch of the IPT will now help to satisfy India’s craving for skill-based card games.”

Qualification for the event will be through both live and online satellites with the latter starting in June 2008.
