An Announcement

From the PA syatem: "Okay players, we just wanted to let you know that we've broken the million-dollar prizepool mark, and we have close to 700 players in the event."

A muted applause coursed its way through the room, but it really is something to be impressed with. So far, 679 players have ponied up the $1,600 required to play this event, creating a prize pool just in excess of $1 million. The staff announced that it was officially the largest tournament the state of Florida has ever seen, but that may not be correct.

From our records, Florida's largest tournament is still the Fall Poker Open from last November in Hollywood, Florida.

But this Circuit Main Event is certainly a very impressive second now. And registration is still open for another half hour.
