Where Are the WPT Shooting Stars Going Next

This year the WPT #ShootingStar Championship was a great success, with an amazing star-studded field and record number of entries (in excess of 700). Equally unprecedented was the fact that NONE of the stars designated as 'bounties' at each of the 25 tables survived beyond Day 2, when the field of about 300 went down to 36.

For the first time in WPT history none of the 'bounties' reached Day 3. Hopefully all the wishes made on the shooting stars will come true...

 

So where are they off to next? One obvious destination is the 2014 WPT Rolling Thunder in nearby @Thunder Valley Casino Resort. There is even a free shuttle service that has been taking players to Thunder Valley since yesterday. The $3,500 5-day main event is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Mar. 15.

Alternately, the shooting stars might choose to take a break and you could find them in a theater near you :)
