As we go to press with this issue, it’s too late to enter the Main Event at the Bicycle Casino In Bell Gardens, CA, where the prize pool has been estimated at $3,000,000. This event began on Friday and again on Saturday, August 24 & 25, and is scheduled to hold the final WPT filming on Wednesday, August 29. Since this event is not over as we go to press, we cannot give you results. However, we do have results from most of the 37 total events leading up to the final. This issue covers events from #11 to #29, as well as events #2 and #3 that were missed in our last issue. The remaining events will appear in the next issue of Poker Player
