California State Poker Championship

With more than $1.5 million in guarantees, Commerce Casino's Cal State Poker Tournament gets off to a sizzling start, just in time for players to start building their bankroll for this summer's World Series of Poker. With an opening multi-day start $220-No Limit Hold'em tourney that offers a $400,000 guarantee and $100,000 to the winner, and then another $125-buy in, $300,000 Turbo with $100,000 first prize, it's a Mega-May on the books for players. The 19-days of tournaments culminate in the $2,575-Buy-In Cal State Poker Championship on Friday, May 20, featuring a $500,000 guarantee. But getting in is as easy as winning one of the nightly supersatellites starting at $120 that offer a guaranteed seat in the Main Event.
