WPT LAPC Day 1: Maimone and Romero Atop Counts
Nick MaimoneAll World Poker Tour events are marquee parts of the international poker circuit schedule, but the L.A. Poker Classic is special even by WPT standards. It's one of just three $10,000 events in Season XV of the WPT, along with the Five Diamond World Poker Classic and the season-ending Seminole Hard Rock Poker Finale.
This year's LAPC kicked off Saturday at noon local time at Commerce Hotel & Casino. The freezeout event drew 498 runners, although registration remained open until the start of Sunday's Day 2.
