The first televised event of Season XII of the World Poker Tour kicks off today from the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA.
The tournament is expected to bring out some of the biggest names in the game as the $3500+$200 buy-in event has three Day 1 flights as well the ability to re-enter in a subsequent starting day should one get knocked out on Day 1A or 1B.
Last year’s Main Event saw San Diego’s Josh Hale conquer a field of 622 runners and best a final table that included Max Steinberg, Greg Mueller and Jeff Madsen for a first place prize of half a million dollars.
The Legends of Poker starts at 1PM PST with live updates, and continues all the way through the final table on September 4. You can follow the action at the website of the World Poker Tour.
