Details have just been released for WPT Season 5 - and there are some noticeable changes. Gone is the
Party Poker Million (a limit event, which was unique) and the
Ultimate Bet Aruba Classic (never did win my trip....). WPT says "circumstances have changed" since they've come out with wptonline.com, but it's not hard to figure out what's happening. What's interesting is that they are keeping the
Poker Stars Carribean Adventure (good, because I REALLY want to go there!). Perhaps they felt Stars was too big a target to push around?
Here's the schedule for the new season -
