Gear up for more LWPS action Malaysian and Singaporean poker players are once again set for action as the Leisure World Poker Series returns for another season. Coming this May 21-22, players will board the luxury cruise liner MV Leisure World for two days of poker action on the high seas in the LWPS VII tournament.
