Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada will be hosting the first annual poker Author Challenge on Sunday, January 21, 2007.
The best part of this competition is that poker fans meet their favorite authors by taking part in the Texas Hold'em no-limit tournament, for only $125. Registration, as well as the scheduled book signing, will take place at 10 a.m.
The inaugural Poker Author Challenge is presented by Sheree Bykofsky and Lou Krieger.
Noted poker authors that will be present in the tournament event include Gary Carson, Lou Krieger, George Epstein, Russ Fox, Tony Guerrera, Susie Isaacs, Maryann Morrison, Neil Myers, Alan Schoonmaker, Sheree Bykofsky, Richard Sparks, John Vorhaus and Kathleen Watterson. Any registered player that beats an author will win a special prize.
"I am excited to be working with such great sponsors and participants for our successful ongoing Poker Author Challenges," said Sheree Bykofsky.
"Binion's is a great venue for sponsoring and hosting this event. With low room rates and in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, this tournament will be sure to be a fun and challenging event for all players."
The Poker Author Challenge is being sponsored by Binion's, Hold'em Radio, Gambler's Bookshop, Kensington Books, Susie Isaacs, and Woman Poker Player Magazine.
