EUA – World Poker Tour compra DeepStacks Poker
By Phil - 17 de janeiro de 2017
Having recently bought all of WPTDeepStacks, WPT Enterprises has already started operating the WPTDeepStacks brand for Season 4 of the tour, which began January 12, 2017.
DeepStacks Poker Tour, launched in 2012, partnered with the WPT to form WPTDeepStacks in mid-2014, replacing the existing WPT Regional and DeepStacks Poker Tour brands in the United States and Europe. The partnership led to growth of the WPTDeepStacks tour, generating more than $10m in total prize pools since partnering with the WPT.
“Estamos entusiasmados em levar nosso relacionamento com o World Poker Tour para o próximo nível”, disse Chris Torina, Diretor Executivo do WPTDeepStacks. “A parceria com o World Poker Tour para formar o WPTDeepStacks consolidou a marca como o principal tour mid-major do poker. Esperamos continuar a inovar, expandir e oferecer os torneios mais amigáveis aos jogadores nas propriedades mais bonitas do mundo.”
“The World Poker Tour is proud to acquire WPTDeepStacks,” said Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker Tour. “Over the years, Chris Torina has become a friend and a great steward of the WPT brand, and he and his team have built WPTDeepStacks into one of the most established brands in poker. WPT, bordered by the support of our parent company Ourgame, is currently looking for strategic, friendly acquisition opportunities of businesses and management teams that reflect our brand and company values. We feel WPTDeepStacks is a model of this initiative.”
Como membro totalmente integrado da família WPT, o WPTDeepStacks poderá agora oferecer eventos maiores e melhores para sua comunidade de jogadores, incluindo expansão para novas regiões e estabelecimento de novas parcerias. Embora o WPT tenha adquirido todos os ativos do WPTDeepStacks, o DeepStacks Poker Tour continuará a realizar eventos em certas regiões do Canadá por conta própria.
