WPT acquires WPTDeepStack in strategic play

The World Poker Tour has acquired the assets of the WPTDeepStacks Poker Tour three years after the pair first entered into a strategic partnership.

The DeepStacks Poker Tour launched in 2012. Two years later, and Chris Torina and his team mined a piece of silver when the World Poker Tour (WPT) came knocking to ask for a merger, and now they have struck gold.

Backed by owner OurGame, the WPT has acquired the WPTDeepStacks Poker Tour, lock, stock, and all smoking barrels, and will take control of all operations when Season 4 of the new tour kicks off in earnest on January 12.

WPT DeepStacks owner Chris Torina is delighted with the news.
