The National Poker League (NPL) is the newest and most aggressive poker playing organization in the world. Aimed at the younger generation of poker players and fans along with legendary poker pros.

NPL announced their 2007 Global Circuit Tour beginning with The Paris Open in France on May13th at the Cercle Gaillon Casino in the heart of Paris.

As a sports brand focused on servicing the global poker playing community, NPL has partnered with international host casinos and online sites to promote and establish qualifying satellite tournaments throughout the year. NPL's comprehensive series will lead to four televised World Cups: Paris Open (May), UK Open (August); Asia Open (October) and the 2nd annual "Vegas Open" in November. "NPL is not an American or European tour, It's a true worldwide poker circuit open to everyone", says NPL VP of Poker Operations, Edna Dalton.

The NPL circuit kicks-off with The Paris Open, a 4,000 euros buy-in event from May 13 - 22nd and expected to reach Europe's highest attendance and prize pool. For the Paris Open, NPL has created the ultimate poker experience, offering players six one hour episodes from each tour stop that will be aired on international markets. Players will enjoy 100,000 euros of ADDED MONEY, a welcoming VIP gala party, as well as travel discounts.

"NPL wants to redefine the tour. As a strong advocate of poker, we feel it's no longer a game but an established sport", says Dalton. In order to assist players attending from abroad, the NPL has established a pre-registration method on the NPL site or directly at Cercle Gaillon www.cerclegaillon.net. Players are encouraged to sign-up early for a seat.

NPL has extensively grown its member base and media exposure since its inception two years ago. The 2007 World Opens will be entirely produced in High Definition and be aired on the INHD Network (Time Warner, Comcast, Cox Communications and Cablevision) and in standard definition in U.S. Syndication reaching over 100 million households.
