Legends of Poker Under Way

By launchpoker, Aug 21, 2006

While the World Series of Poker is over, the Legends of Poker is already in full swing in Los Angeles at the Bicycle Casino. One of the biggest draws on this poker tournament series is the Media and Celebrity Invitational, which boasts more celebrities per square foot because of the fact that it's located in Los Angeles. Structured a little more conservatively than many media and celebrity events, this particular tournament will give players more opportunity to show their poker skills with a regularly scheduled blind raise. The most popular of the events will be the $10,000 World Poker Tour Legends of Poker Main Event. Last year the event had only a $5,000 buy in but doubling the buy in will likely not slow down the number of players to participate.
