Comments? Last year the 1st annual tournament was a complete success. Many local deaf poker tournaments were held across the country because of this success. So far none of them have not met the magnitude of this one. It has the “major league” status. The “big one”. Since Las Vegas is the poker capital of the world, no wonder it is so popular here.
