2008 Five Diamond World Poker Classic in the Bellagio's Fontana Room
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, all around the Bellagio. The Conservatory is changing into holiday clothes and the Fontana Room is filled with poker tables full of pros and other hopefuls playing in the 2008 Five Diamond World Poker Classic. This is the holiday poker tournament, the one that is capped by the WPT Doyle Brunson Classic, a $15,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em championship event.
The Bellagio has always been one of our favorite places to play poker and cover tournaments. it just wouldn't be the same without the Five Diamond holiday events. The tournaments continue daily through the TV final table for the championship event on December 19th. All events begin at noon. A second event is held at 7:15 nightly plus plenty of satellites offered daily and $1,500 super-satellites for seats in the $15K Championship event.
Check out the tournament schedule for details of events and satellites then make plans to play in the best holiday poker tournament in Las Vegas. As usual, Master TD, Jack McClelland, is directing the action and keeping the show running seamlessly. I made a couple of orbits through the Fontana Room on Monday afternoon and found many of the well known pros playing and watching. More photos direct from Monday's tournament floor after the jump.
