Imperial Palace Pigskin Poker Challenge

336 Players, Big Increase Over Last Year

Although still not enough to pay the entire prize fund, Imperial Palace seems to know what they're doing when they host a medium-big buy-in poker tournament. The $500 + $25 buy-in, small by today's standards for special events, will pay about $60,000 for first place. After day 1, which was separated into 2 flights, 108 players remain.
