BUCYRUS — The World Poker Tour has become one of poker’s most visible assets, on par with the World Series of Poker. Now, local people can experience playing in a WPT event — and it’s free.

The World Poker Tour Amateur Poker League has begun play in Mansfield, Galion and Bucyrus, and the response from area players has been encouraging, according to Tony and Nancy Pewonski, of Mansfield, who run Aces and Eights Entertainment.

“We started in April, but the league (nationally) has been going on now for two or three years,” Nancy Pewonski said.

There is no cost to join, and there is no money on the table at any time. It’s much like playing poker online, except you can hold the chips, make actual bets on the table and stare down actual opponents.
