    In case anyone here made plans to go, we just got word that the tournament at the aviation club has been cancelled.

    Anyone who had satellited into a Saturday's Qualifier on Full Tilt will get cash instead.

    I don't have any specifics, but I know the legal climate of Poker in France is not so hot at the moment.

    The tournament is still going on, it is just that the WPT will not be there filming it. Here is the letter they sent out:

    Dear WPT Player,

    We regret to announce we have canceled our plans to film the Grand Prix de Paris tournament, which will still be held as announced at the Aviation Club de France, May 6 - 11, 2007. Due to gaming regulations in France, we did not receive assurances in the time needed to proceed with filming the event. We continue to work with Parisian officials to obtain permission to film at the Aviation Club at a later date. We have a great relationship with the WPT Charter Member Casino and look forward to resuming our tour stops in France.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and look forward to seeing everyone on May 19th at The Mirage, Las Vegas for the first WPT Season VI event – the Mirage Poker Showdown. For the most up-to-date information on our Tour Schedule, please visit www.worldpokertour.com/tournament.

    Regards,

    The WPT Team
