CEO Poker Tour Day One a Success

At the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas a fourth major poker event has gotten underway, joining those taking place at the Rio, the Bellagio and Binions. This event, the CEO Poker Tour, drew 342 players for their first day of play, awarding $48,238 to Martin El Kher from Denmark as the winner. There will be No Limit Holdem events running every day through July 10th, when the Championship final table will take place. Buy ins range from $550 to $2,620, and players are encouraged to network with other businessmen, although being a CEO is not a prerequisite to play.
