A Grand Time Was Had By All at the World Series of Poker Media Tournament
The evening began with a welcome reception in the Gold Card Lounge. Each registered guest received a complementary Grand Casino bag filled with goodies and were treated to a delightful buffet of hors d’oeuvres and beverages. There was even a short “poker tutoring” session for those less-accomplished at the wildly popular game. Tournament play began with over 30 players in the Grand Casino Poker Room. Fifteen minute rounds ensured the game moved at a rapid pace. Four tables soon diminished to three, then two and finally one. Bets were high and tensions were tight as the remaining ten players planned their strategies. After over three hours of play, a winner was declared when David Grisham from Jackpot! Magazine triumphed over Drew Hamilton from WMC TV 5. Third place honors went to Gary Parrish from The Commercial Appeal. The first and second place winners each received an engraved trophy and a complementary hotel and dining package to enjoy in Las Vegas, Nevada with the first place winner also receiving a custom embroidered official World Series of Poker leather jacket embroidered as “Media Champion”. The third place winner received an engraved trophy as well as a complementary hotel stay and dining package at Grand Casino Resort. Each of the remaining players who made it to the final table also received an engraved trophy. The World Series of Poker Circuit Event at Grand Casino Tunica began on January 4 and continues through January 27, 2006. For information call the Grand Casino Poker Room at 1-800-946-4946.
