Demonstrating the continuing trend in the tournament poker world, the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, CA, announced on Monday that the upcoming 2006 California State Poker Championship, which will run from September 5th to September 24th, will be an all Limit and No Limit Texas Holdem affair.
In the past, the series of tournaments has normally held a wide assortment of events that included Seven Card Stud and Omaha, among others. With the trend continuing to move towards an entire schedule of No-Limit Texas Holdem Tournaments, the Commerce seems to be following the tide in the tournament poker world.
"The California State Poker Championship is a great opportunity for a West Coast poker player to establish a name," said Cheri Dokken, Commerce Casino Tournament Director. "With so many of the talented pros calling Los Angeles home, it's a respected event that says you've arrived. The competition is strong and the rewards ample. With the high-quality poker at the California State Championship, it could be said we might even be incubating the next WSOP or WPT champion."
There will be a series of eighteen tournaments spread over the twenty days of poker at the Commerce. These events will all lead to the crowning of the champion of California in the $2500 Championship Event on September 24th. Well, good luck to all the players!
