Lots of good news! PokerProf has been pounding the hot Las Vegas pavement and has confirmed Charlie Shoten as a guest at the event. Charlie will speak before the tournament as he did last year. I still listen to the MP3’s I made of his presentation last year. But Prof wasn’t done just yet. We’re still waiting on some confirmations before we make the big announcement but it’s a big one.
Linda from PokerWorks asked Michael Craig, author of the recently reviewed Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King to come as well as Ron Rose who attended last year’s fest. And as exciting as that news may be, there’s more. Linda spoke with Daniel Negreanu the other night and he said he would be into attending and might even challenge the winner to a heads-up freeroll for $2000. Of course, that all depends on whether or not he’s in town, remembers, hasn’t made other plans, etc. But the good news is that he said he was into it!
