If you didn't know it, the Commerce is the largest poker casino in the world. With over 200 tables, you can get your fill of Texas Hold'em, 7-Card Stud, Omaha, Pot Limit, Mexican Poker, Pineapple, Draw, Low-Ball, and (Poker Gods protect us) Pan.
The Commerce will begin the final major poker tournament of the year on November 2, 2011. The event runs through November 21, and offers tournaments with buy-ins as low as $125 says Jeff Harris, Commerce Casino Manager.
If you know how to play poker, you can give a tournament a shot - but there are some differences to a standard game. The main change is that each player starts with the same number of chips. In addition, the blinds, antes and minimum bets are raised about every 20 minutes.
To win a tournament you have to continually win hands because the limits just keep going up!
