First delayed WPT finales
You may recall last year the World Poker Tour announced it was delaying some of their final tables to take place at the Esports Arena in Las Vegas.
The first two concluded this week with David 'ODB' Baker taking down the LA Poker Classic for $1,015,000 and Frank Stepuchin winning the Gardens Poker Championship for $548,825.
The final table of the Borgata Winter Poker Open takes place tonight live on PokerGO. This is what the new style final tables look like:

The King's Casino in Rozvadov are hosting what they claim is the biggest PLO series in poker history, with both a €200,000 guaranteed warm-up event and a €1 million guaranteed Main Event, next month:
