The Main Event of this championship begins in two days time in Las Vegas, Nevada and promises to be as packed and full of surprises as it was last year, but probably won’t break the record of 8,773 entrants in 2006. The Main Event is strictly texas hold’em poker with a $10,000 buy-in, but attracts players with all skill levels and from other poker genres.

The return on investment is truly special and that’s why it has prompted the “average joe” to learn how to play texas hold’em. The rewards to be reaped by making the final table in such an event bring with it all the trappings of a successful businessman.

So why are you still sitting here reading? Book that plane ticket before it’s all over!
