Poker Tournament Conflict
Posted on February 28, 2008
Filed Under General
A real conflict between poker tournaments is happening as we speak. Tonight at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas they will draw for the pairings in the NBC Heads Up Championship and tomorrow the Day One couples will square off. The dates for the Heads Up are February 29th through March 2nd.
Meanwhile, just down the road in Los Angeles, the LA Poker Classic is wrapping up today with a really interesting final table, including Phi Ivey Phil Hellmuth and Nam Le. After the winner is crowned tonight, there is an off day before the WPT (LA Poker Classic) Celebrity Invitational begins on Saturday March 1st.
See the problem!
Sixty-four (OK really Fifty-Seven with qualifiers and a few celebrities) but a lot of professionals and the biggest names are going to be playing in Las Vegas for the big deal, lots of television Heads Up title. Meanwhile, the formerly big, big deal WPT Celebrity Invitational will be down several dozen big names.
You gotta wonder how many last minute plane reservations will be made on a cell phone by a player who has just busted out of the Heads Up event. The Commerce Casino in Los Angeles is only an hour away by plane and five hours by car from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. There will be more then a few pros making the quick dash to LA once they lose their heads, Heads Up.
