According to a recent press release from World Poker Tour Enterprises, the WPT has decided to once again team up with PokerStars, the world's largest online poker room, this time to use them as their title sponsor for WPT Season VII, when it begins to air in Canada, Germany, Italy and Netherlands.

As well as being a sponsor, PokerStars will also work with the WPT to create "localized" Spanish/Portuguese-language programs in Latin America, which will feature native commentators from those regions.

"TV sponsorship is an important part of our business, so having the biggest company in the poker industry jump on board is an exciting way to start international distribution of Season VII," said Steve Lipscomb, Founder and CEO. "We look forward to working with PokerStars as we roll out the latest WPT programming to fans in these territories."
