The 20th running of the Los Angeles Poker Classic is set to begin at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles on January 18th and continue through the end of February. The 2012 LAPC will play host to 50 events in total, featuring a variety of games and buy-ins.
From a $65 buy-in re-entry no-limit hold’em event with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, to the $2,080 pot-limit Omaha event, the LAPC has a tournament for everyone. Also, a total of 23 of the 50 events also qualify for Card Player Player of the Year points.
The centerpiece of this celebrated series is the $10,000 World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic Main Event, which will get underway on February 24th. Some of poker’s biggest names have won this event in previous years, including Gus Hansen, Michael Mizrachi, Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Ivey.
Last year the main event drew an impressive 681 players, building a $6,537,600 prize pool. Eventual champion Gregory Brooks took home $1,654,120 and 2,400 POY points for topping that huge field, and a tough final table that featured all-time leading WPT money-earner Carlos Mortensen, Vivek Rajkumar, 2010 Online Player of the Year Steve Gross, Daryll Fish and Amir Lehavot.
