Biggest Poker Event in Florida History
Florida is a south eastern US state that has been going back and forth over the poker issue for years, and recently one of their biggest poker rooms at the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa held the biggest poker event in the history of the state. The law regarding poker tournaments had been adjusted in the summer of 2007, which made this event possible. The player cap of 600 was hit quickly, and at a thousand dollar buy in the No Limit Holdem poker tournament passed the $100,000 guaranteed pay out for the first place victor.
