With the holiday season coming to an end, poker players from all around the world are preparing for what seems to be a very busy beginning of the year 2008.  Playing poker has never been this exciting, every year more locations are getting added to the major tournaments while some other that have been running for several years are also gaining attention from the general public. The year 2007 will be memorable among poker players due the poker tournaments success around the globe. China’s first participation in the Asian Pacific poker Tour was probably the most important new event of this year due its historic transcendence.

January offers multiple poker tournaments to choose from, while players will be starting the year with a trip to the Atlantis Resort in Bahamas for the Caribbean Poker Adventure, which is a completely new stop of the European Poker Tour. The first event of the year event will start on January 5^th, and due to the more tolerant age restrictions, many of the top young online phenomenons will be joining in this live circuit for the first time.   If the Caribbean sun and hot temperatures aren’t include in your dream poker adventure, players can also find a way to participate in the Aussie Millions, the Crown Casino is hosting this renamed poker tournament that will kick off next January 13^th, featuring  $1 million guaranteed in the $10.000 main event. Several sites offered seats for this event including Full Tilt Poker and Titan Poker.

But if traveling outside the U.S isn’t really what you’re looking for, then you don’t have to worry, there is plenty of action in the U.S running all year long.  With events running at both the Gold Strike Casino, and The Grand Casino, Mississippi will be buzzing with both a WSOP Circuit Event and a WPT Main Event.  And if all this is still not enough for you, you can always head north to Atlantic City, to the always amazing Borgata Hotel and Casino.  At the end of January, the Borgata is hosting the Winter Open, which begins Sunday, January 27^th. More information and updates about the upcoming events will be published on future posts.
