World Poker Finals get underway today

The World Poker Tour (WPT) is in New England today (November 5th 2009) for the World Poker Finals at the Foxwoods Hotel and Casino in Connecticut.

Play started at 12:00 EST in the $10,000 buy-in main event and it will draw to a close in five days time.

Those who compete in the tournament will each receive a starting stack of 30,000 chips and the levels will last for 90 minutes.

The final table, which takes place on November 10th 2009, starts at 16:00 EST and on every other day, play will begin at noon.

Last year, Jonathan Little triumphed in the main event to pocket more than $1.1 million in prize money after defeating Jonathan Jaffe in the heads-up.

Other players to make the final table included David Pham and Mike Matusow.

Earlier this week a deal was finalized between WPT Enterprises and Peerless Media in which the latter purchased most of the former's assets, other than cash and investments.
