The tournament is open to all poker players from around the world, the top state finisher as well as the event winner will move on to the STPT World Amateur Championships.
"We are eager to bring this event to Louisiana," Fracalossi said. "Poker is a great sport and I can’t wait to see the talented players we find in the south. We want our events to be affordable, so the average player can get the big time event experience without the cost, plus raise as much as possible for the local charities," Fracalossi added.
