The WSOP, in partnership with Australia's Crown Melbourne, have today reached a multi-year agreement to bring the major poker tournament series to the region, commencing April 2013
It's good to see the WSOP expanding more... your thoughts?.......

LOL true that!
kinda just skimmed the article, does this mean that it wont be held in Vegas 2013?
No it means that along with the WSOP in Vegas, the WSOPE in Cannes that there will be an Australian leg in 2013.
So three chances to compete for that WSOP bracelet!
ahh thats cool! just as well cause me and a friend are heading over to play one of the $1500 NLHE tourneys in early June! was worried for a second!

Just perfect. A short 50 minute flight from Hobart, Tasmania. We are starting to get some really good tourneys, what with the APT, APPT, and ANZPT along with the Aussie Millions.
I could almost turn pro and never have to leave Australia. ♦
Great news, the Crown is one of the best venues I have ever been to, brilliant for poker and also just to stay at. Got a column on this topic on the site tomorrow afternoon.

Must be nice ♦
I would have to travel about 60 miles to get to the nearest Casino 
I definitely think this is a step in the right direction by WSOP. The AustralAsia Poker market has been consistently growing over the years.
You guys are definitely spoilt for choice now

+1 cannot wait ♦
what are live winning taxes? The thing about the wsop that I didnt like was the taxes if their gonna move I assume its to a country with no added rake like canada
It's not really moving.
It's adding another stop, just like the WSOPE, the main WSOP in Vegas I doubt is going anywhere.
