CEO Poker Tour to Compete With WSOP

Everyone knows that June and July is the busiest times for poker in Las Vegas and it is because of the WSOP. CEO Poker plans to challenge that with a poker tournament on July 2-9 with buy-in’s from $500 - $2,500. They are trying to market the tournament as a cheaper alternative to the WSOP. They will be giving away bracelets and trophies but no mention of the prize pool. They are looking at this tournament as a chance for executives to network without having to pony up the cash for playing in the WSOP. You will need to pre-register online to play in this tournament.
