With the 2010 tournament season winding down you can expect a lot of action at the remaining stops on the World Poker Tour, as players try to finish off their 2010 campaigns with a big score, and a number of players in the hunt for coveted Player of the Year awards look to rack-up as many points as possible.
One of the last chances for players to take part in a major tournament series will be the upcoming WPT Bellagio Five Diamond Poker Classic which takes place from November 26th through December 8th. The Five Diamond Poker Classic will feature a total of 17 tournaments including the $10,000 buy-in Main Event championship which takes place from December 3rd-8th.
The Five Diamond Poker Classic will also feature two other $5,000 NLHE tournaments which should attract a number of big name pros, especially players like Tom Marchese, Dwyte Pilgrim, Sorel Mizzi, David Peters, and Vanessa Selbst as they jockey for the top spot on the 2010 Card Player Magazine, and Bluff Magazine, Player of the Year leader-board.
