Heavyweight Championship of Poker
The Heavyweight Championship of Poker (HCP) is a $100,000.00 buy-in event planned for December 18th-23rd at Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall. The HCP is an open event that anyone with $100,000.00 can enter and with a full field of 100 players (maximum) can walk away with $5,000,000.00. The idea for this tournament is the brainchild of Stanley Studikoff, editor and publisher of PokerPlayer newspaper. Information is available at their website.
On a different note, I know that several full-time dealers at different poker rooms around town had applied for positions dealing the WSOP. This was done, of course, with permission from their respective poker rooms. Some of these dealers that have quite a bit of experience, have been told that they will be on the reserve list. An inside source confirmed that there are dealers being hired with little or no experience. Last year, the dealers I encountered were just fine. Hopefully, this year will be the same.
Will we reach the 8,000 mark this year?
Call, Raise or Muck It!!
