Just because the World Series of Poker is on hiatus until November and the Bicycle Casino’s Legends of Poker event didn’t kick-off until the end of July doesn’t mean there was a lack of available tournaments in mid- July. There were plenty, and they were spread out across the country. Results from these events that are referenced below are avaliable in the issue now on stands (Vol. 14 Number 4 August 16, 2010).
 

The Bicycle Casino’s annual Stars and Stripes poker series commemorates Independence Day and kicks off every year on or around the Fourth of July. This year’s Stars and Stripes event began July 1 and ran through July 14. Now there’s only a short, two-week break in the action until the start of the Legends of Poker, the Bike’s signature event, which runs from July 28 - August 30.

From Kansas City to St. Louis, Missouri has six casinos offering poker and plenty of action for all poker players. Card connoisseurs in the Show-Me State may not always show you their cards, but they will show you a good time.

GRAND FINALE

April’s largest poker payday came from the other side of the pond, where Lebanese player Nicolas Chouity triumphed in the European Poker Tour’s 2010 Grand Finale in Monte Carlo. Chouity’s win was worth a monstrous €1,700,000 (approximately $2,101,200), with Chouity entering the final with a huge leader over his final-table rivals and coasting to the win. Josef Klinger finished second (€1,000,000), with Dominykas Karmazinas third (€700,000).
