Two surprise announcements at Reno Players meeting:
1. London Event cancelled. Reason is inability to secure the venue and/or suitable alternative location. There will be only one more event this year at Chicago. IPT tour card holders are still guaranteed a minimum of $13,000 for the three events.
2. IPT sold to Asian billionnaire Stanley Ho and Ho Interactive for approximately $150M. Kevin Trudeau has signed to continue as IPT Tour Commissioner for 5 more years.
Other items of interest:
3. Venue is the most beautiful pool center I have ever seen. Huge room with 50 perfect diamond tables with diamond overhead lighting. TV table and Grandstand area is stunning with multicolored lighting, etc.
4. IPT website will begin broadcasting EVERY match at this tournament LIVE beginning this Thursday. You have to purchase an IPT Membership ($29 annual membership plus $6 a month). This could be really good, I certainly will buy one for Chicago and Vegas tournaments.
FYI,
