World Tavern Poker Open

Representatives from about half of the states in the US showed up at Binion's Gambling Hall in Las Vegas to compete in the World Tavern Poker Open. More than 600 players crowded the halls for this event, the 5th annual WTPO, making it the largest event the organization has ever put on. The WTP is a bar poker league which hosts the Open twice a year, and this event was joined by World Series of Poker former champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer. There were many different kinds of events during the five days of festivities in Las Vegas, with the ubiquitous No Limit Texas Holdem freezeout tournaments along with a few special events, like a Bounty Hunter event.
