Emperors Palace is pleased to welcome back the World Poker Tour\u00ae (WPT\u00ae) for the fifth consecutive season and this year a massive R10-million in winnings are up for grabs.<\/p>\n
The classic tournament returns to Emperors Palace with 10 events scheduled to run from October 23 to 31.<\/p>
This season\u2019s tournament will feature the usual mix of local and international players, with the hope of stacking the odds in their favour.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year the WPT\u00ae held a precursor event, \u201cBattle of the Airwaves\u201d, featuring local celebrities with 5FM\u2019s Rob Forbes, Talk Radio 702\u2019s Aki Anastasiou and 947\u2019s Alex Caige among the radio personalities who participated.<\/p>
Poker enthusiasts can look forward to this season\u2019s event as it promises to continue the trend of the WPT\u00ae Emperors Palace Poker Classic being the biggest poker tournament in Africa.<\/p>\n
This time around, we can look forward to poker enthusiast and local actress, Shamilla Miller, making headlines.<\/p>\n
Miller graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in film and live performance from AFDA, where she was nominated for the award for \u2018best supporting actress\u2019 for her role in \u201cWelcome to Ugly Town.\u201d<\/p>\n
She spent a few years moulding her craft on stage with South Africa\u2019s legendary actors, such as David Kramer and Alfred Rietman.<\/p>\n
This year a bevy of beauties will be descending on the Palace of Dreams as international models and Royal Flush Girls Ivy Teves and Danielle Ruiz will be strutting their stuff along with Miss Finland and Miss World Contestant, Sara Yasmina Chafak.<\/p>\n
An entry into event three in the series is on offer to the first person who guesses the country of her origin.<\/p>\n
