There will be an additional three events on this season's World Poker Tour (WPT) card.

Three new events will take place at the Bellagio, Foxwoods and Borgata venues in the fifth season of the WPT.

The tour, which was the brainchild of the current World Poker Tour Enterprises CEO Steve Lipscomb, is set to create around 20 new poker millionaires over the course of the 18 stop tour.

The Bellagio, Foxwoods and Borgata will now all hold two events each during the tour with new special events consisting of two popular Ladies Night events.

This year's WPT will also see the inaugural appearance of the Bounty Hunter event at the Borgata where six pros will begin with $250,000 of chips as well as a $5,000 price tag on their head.

Taking place on September 18th, all pros in the Bounty Hunter event will be decided by a viewer vote.
