The WPTDeepStacks event in Houston went off without a hitch after 790-entrants created a $790,000 prizepool in the controversial event, and Daryl Aguirre walked away with the $143,765 first prize.
Texas No-Limit Hold’em, the most popular form of poker in the world, is illegal in Texas.
Only in America.
Fortunately, The FreeRolls Poker Club found a loophole, and the World Poker Tour (WPT) felt confident enough in the interpretation to hold a $1,000 buy-in, $100k GTD WPTDeepStacks Main Event, and it went off without a single SWAT team breaking down the door, and smacking anyone with a rifle butt.
