On Thursday, Day 1A of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Emperors Poker Classic Main Event ($3,600) kicked off. The event, which is being played at The Palace of Dreams in the heart of Johannesburg in South Africa 7-11 Nov, attracted 85 entrants (11 more than last year) and 54 players made it through the day. Nahum Lum bagged up the largest stck (123,725), and he will joined to the second day by notables such as Faraz Jaka, Gaella Baumann and Barny Boatman.
The second Day 1 flight begins in a few hours and, as usual, a greater field of players is expected to participate! We will be back with another update on Monday morning. Until then, have a great weekend!

After the world cup we now have the WPT in South Africa, I am close from it, living from Mauritius but do not have the bankroll to go and participate in it. Should be fun to watch and the players that are going to play there are no amateurs.
Good luck Faraz, like him as a player too, good luck, keep us updated!!

That is great that SA has their own major poker event.
Imagine all the jabs you would need as well.
Such small fields but a great chance for anyone in it to win a major prize.

Unfortunately with the security problems that they have over there i doubt that this event will grow or will bring some top players that participate on other wpt events...
I mean south africa is nice as country but i guess it's not fun to be kidnapped from the hotel room.
