April 9, 2007 - French
Government will not block the NPL Paris Event
Several media sites are
reporting that the French Government will not block the
National Poker League (NPL) event scheduled to debut in
Paris
May 13th at the Cercle Gaillon.
The first place we discovered the article was at
Launch Poker but after some more research it appears
the story probably originated from
this press release.
This was a great concern initially considering other
tournaments have been blocked by governments who have
strong stances against online gambling. This linked press
release indicates that because the NPL is not associated
with any online poker room the tournament has their full
support.
This tournament will have a prize pool of more than
$3,500,000.
