Do you think you or someone you know have what it takes to make it to the final table? During the annual World Series of Poker, the population of Las Vegas swells as the top poker players in the world converge on Sin City. The felt is not the only place where the action is going to heat up during this event. The golf courses in Las Vegas have become a favorite hangout for many great players like Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu.
Now is the perfect time to find the best poker player at the club and get a group of guys together to sponsor him at the Main Event.
