Club One to host 1st Annual Central Valley Poker Championships

2008-07-02T14:05:00.000-07:00

Earlier this month, Club One Casino announced it’s hosting the first annual Central Valley Poker Championships from Sunday 8/3 through Saturday 8/9.

In addition to winnings, players will accumulate points in each event played, with the overall point’s winner to receive an Overall Champion bracelet.

Club One Director of Tournaments Brian Masterson commented, “We think it’s time for Central California to have a legitimate tournament series comparable to what you’d find in Southern California or Las Vegas. In the last few months, we’ve established Club One as the premier tournament location in the Fresno area with the biggest prize pools and best structures. It’s obvious that there are a number of good players in the area and we think they’ll appreciate the chance to compete in a series of even larger events and prize pools.”

“The CVPC will have a week-long series of events including NL and other events with increasing buy-ins. We’re going to have a celebrity charity event on Friday, August 9th, and our main event the following Saturday will be a $500 buy-in event with a $50,000 guarantee. All of the events will start with 10,000 chips and have 30-minute levels. If you’re a good tournament player, you’re going to love these events.”
