For four weeks in September at the Commerce Casino the California State Poker Championship will be held, including a $2,580 final event. If you think that sounds attractive because it is cheaper than the $10,000 buy in to the World Series of Poker Main Event, then maybe this tournament could be a good choice for you as the California State Poker Championship offers a world-class play for a value price. 20 tournaments will run for the four weeks until the September 23 final event, and all the events are Holdem, the most popular form of poker in recent years. And it's not all the same story this year - the California State Poker Championship will be holding their first ladies only No Limit Holdem event.
