SPT Vilamoura is Canceled: Change of Venue to Gran Casino de Aranjuez in Madrid, Spain

MADRID (10.03.08).

The SPANISH POKER TOUR presented by Everest Poker, announces the Portuguese General Inspection of Games has canceled the 5th stage of SPT in Vilamoura, only 2 weeks before the event was set to begin.

The refusal for permission for the tournament stems from previous, unresolved problems the Casino of Vilamoura had with the Gaming Commission.

The SPT organizers and Everest Poker did everything they could to come to an agreement with the Casino of Vilamoura, but were unable to resolve the issue.

The dates of the tournament will remain October 16th to October 19th. The new tournament location will be in Madrid at the Gran Casino of Aranjuez.

You can find the updated venue information on the SPT website (www.thespanishpokertour.com) as well as hotel recommendations and scheduling information.

We are deeply sorry to all the players who had planned to attend this stage in Portugal for inconvenience this unexpected change may have caused.

Ginafranco made it to the last session of EPT London in association with PokerStars but is now out.

That's all nine Everest Poker players now out.

Gianfranco went All In and was followed with AQ and the Q on the board handed his opponent the stack.
