LA Poker Classic - Event #7 - $500 Pot Limit Holdem - Final

Driving to the Commerce Casino tonight, I knew I was in for a chatty, fast paced and fun final table. Men “The Master” Nguyen is always entertaining, and fun to watch. In addition, I saw Freddy Twin would be there as well (Freddy put on a big rally to finish 2nd in the $300 NLHE […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #8 - $1,000 NLHE Shootout - Final

I am a fan of the game of poker. I can play it for hours on end, and I can watch it being played (well) for hours on end. But I would be lying to you if I said that Thursday’s final table for Event # 8 of the LA Poker Classic was thrilling to […]

LA Poker Classic - Schedule of Events

This is the third annual LA Poker Classic, held at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, CA. All events are two-day events, with the final table being played the next day. The World Poker Tour covers the main event, and has two of its specialty offerings, the Professional Poker Tour (PPT), and the WPT Invitational, […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #9 - $1,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Split - Final

The final split pot event of the LAPC was a hard fought test of wills. Lady luck smiled heavily on one competitor, and as is often the case in poker, he (or she) who has the luck run their way gets the prize. That was precisely the case Friday night at the Commerce Casino, as […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #10 - $1,000 No Limit Holdem - Final

With the biggest crowd on hand yet for an La Poker Classic Event, and poker’s # 1 celebrity fan Tobey Maguire watching from inside the ropes, this was the first event of the LA Poker Classic that felt like, well, an ‘event’. A first place prize of $146,000 helped to add a feel of importance […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #11 - $500 NL Holdem - Final

In Jacksonville, Florida tonight they released doves into the air during the Superbowl pre game festivities. In Commerce, California a different kind of Dove was released. Scott Dove from Phoenix won event # 11 at the LA Poker Classic, and took home $142,000.
Dove soared over a group of 767 competitors, with many top players in […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #12 - $1,000 buy in No Limit Holdem - Final

The irony was thick at the Commerce Casino Monday night. As the PPT (Professional Poker Tour – a WPT invitational made for TV event) television set loomed 20 feet away from the final table, the participants and hands in this event gave us everything a TV producer could dream of. Drama, interpersonal conflict, and whole […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #13 - $1,000 buy in 7 card Stud Hi/Lo - Final

The Stud/8 final table was placed right in the eye of the storm. The final table for event 13 of the LAPC was wedged in between the tables for the PPT event, and the overflow tables for Event # 14 ($1,000 Limit Holdem – read about it tomorrow) and near the area where the Super […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #14 - $1,000 buy in Limit Holdem

As the PPT played out in the background, the final table of Event #14 was starved for space. Much like Event # 13 the night before, this final table was wedged into a bunch of super satellite tables, with a few single table satellites thrown in.
The focus was nearly all on the PPT event though, […]

LA Poker Classic - Event #15 - $1,000 buy in 7 Card Stud

A clinic was put on Thursday night at the Commerce Casino. I’m not talking about the “learn how to play Caribbean Stud” clinic they put on to teach new players how to put the dollar in the little slot. No, I’m talking about the 7 Card Stud clinic put on by Mel Judah upstairs in […]

LA Poker Classic - Event # 16 - $1,000 buy in No Limit Hold Em - Final

With over $350,000 in prize money to be paid to the players at the final table of event #16, it is understandable that play would be tight, if even a bit nervous at the start. Most of these players had never played for this type of money, and as a result, I think we saw […]

LA Poker Classic - Event # 17 - $1,500 buy in No Limit Hold Em - Final

I walked into the most active, buzzing ballroom yet. No, there was not a huge crowd awaiting the final table participants, rather, there were 400 or so players involved in the $1,000,000 guarantee w/rebuys event. Chips clattered, and the din of the crowd was as loud as I have heard in the three weeks I […]

L. A. Poker Classic Event #18 - $1500 Limit Holdem (w/rebuys)

While the stars of the music industry shone in Los Angeles during the Grammy Awards Sunday evening, and different galaxy of stars brightened the night at the L. A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino.
Four hundred twenty seven contestants also ponied up four hundred and two rebuys to make the guaranteed one million dollar event more […]

L.A. Poker Classic Event #19 - $1000 No-Limit Holdem

As it was Valentine’s Day, the Commerce Casino was decked out for the occasion. Flowers showed up at the tables once in a while, and happy couples could be seen heading to their special dinners. One place where there wasn’t much love floating around was the Crowne Ballroom, where not only the nineteenth event of […]

L.A. Poker Classic Event #20 - $1000 No-Limit Holdem Shootout

Shootouts are supposed to be over quickly, right? That wasn’t the case as we came to the final table for Tuesday night’s Shootout event. One hundred and ninety players had begun the event, which basically are one table playoffs that play down to one player before consolidation, making the prize pool a nice $184,300. With […]
