|
The L.A. Poker Classic has been a staple on the World Poker Tour since its initiation, and the growing main event is preceded by a number of preliminary tournaments, which begin this Thursday.
The first event is a $300 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament. Last year, the LAPC kicked off with the same event, which attracted 1,220 players to generate a prize pool of $355,020. Raymond Voskanian took home nearly $114,000 for first place.
With nearly the same number of preliminaries as last year, the series will last for more than a month. Along with no-limit hold’em, the games offered include limit hold’em,
The series culminates in a $10,000 buy-in WPT main event, which is followed by a celebrity invitational tournament. Last year, the main event boasted a field of 791 players to create prize pool worth nearly $7.6 million. The final table included numerous pros, but it was amateur Eric Hershler who received the $2.3 million first-place prize.
