Exploring Poker Tournaments All Over the World: The Best Poker Championships
There are a wide variety of poker tournaments all over the world. But of these, only a few are the best poker championships. Take the Sycuan Casino for example, which many consider to be the best casino in San Diego. Here, we will tell you more about 3 of these international competitions that we feel are the best poker championships anywhere. If you get a chance to explore any of these poker tournaments all over the world as part of your next trip, do it! You might also want to check out poker rooms in your local area, too, for some great play.
Latin American Poker Tour
The Latin American Poker Tour takes place, as you might imagine, in Latin America. You will have to wait until 2015 to book your trip to see this tour, but it is one that is not to be missed. Uruguay, Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Columbia are all common stops on this poker tour. So why is it one of the best poker championships? The players are of a truly international caliber. When you combine their playing with fantastic events like Carnival, as well as the beauty of these destinations, you get a poker tour that is a true winner.
World Series of Poker
The World Series of Poker is one of the best known poker tournaments all over the world. Sadly, this just wrapped up for this year on November 9th. So, again, you will have to wait until this coming summer until this series starts back up again. The WSOP does have tours that it hosts each year. There are also satellite locations that run concurrent games under the WSOP name while the tournament is going on. But the main event is held each year at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in the US. This series has the most well-known players in an entertainment capital.
Aussie Millions
Aussie Millions is probably less well-known in the US. However, it is still one of the best poker championships internationally. Unlike other tournaments on our list, this one takes place in January in Melbourne, Australia. The weather during this time is awesome, with it being their summer. Melbourne offers great food, shows, and even clubs and bars. You can also check out some Australian Open action while you are there. Both of these events are held in January. Again, expect players from all over the world who are serious about the game.
