Faces Of The CSOP - Event 101
When you play a CSOP event, you aren't just enjoying craft cocktails and good food and chatting with celebrities, the prize pool is also significant. In addition to generous gifts from sponsors that go to final table finishers, there is also real money! Turnout has been fantastic and we'll have numbers on the entries and rebuys soon as well as our trophy winners for the chip leader and the player with the most rebuys.

CSOP 101 - Chip In For Autism is going to be a monster. The Sterling Club event space is packed to the gills with smiling faces! Many of those faces came over from the Bar Poker Open championship at The Golden Nugget. Players from all over the country win their way into a tournament here in Vegas and play for some serious cash. And, lucky for us, they also love to support charities and shuttles ran right from the Golden Nugget to The Sterling Club for our event.
We are also watching the Golden Knights playoff game on three huge screens during cocktail hour and getting the tables ready for all these players. Kudos to Sterling Club for finding a way to handle this many people in the valet, at the bar, and make enough snacks to keep everyone happy!
We will be back with a photo gallery and a list of celebrity bounties once cards are in the air.
