Was held Friday night.
This was the most fun event I've ever been involved with. The event was put on by Clear Channel. Entrants won their seats on the website or on one CC's radio stations.
3 rock stars Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro, John Resnick, (hope I spelled the names right ) and 21 winners. 16 were flown in by CC from all over the USA. The rock Stars each picked another player from the audience. The Palms had drawings for the other 2 seats. There was only 1 poker player in the bunch, the winner drawn from Palms poker room, players. He is a no limit player and a good one. He was knocked out 1st!
Phil Gordon stopped by and I drafted him to EM-C the tournament. Phil is a real hoot in a fun type tournament.
The Rock stars interacted with the players from 4PM - 6AM meet & greet, tournament, dinner, Ghost Bar. They were great with the people. Friendly to the point of acting like long lost relatives.
The winner was a slightly tipsy lady that grabed the mike from me or Phil everytime she won a pot and said, "I----AM----The----QUEEN!
Tommy Lee made it to the last 5 and won the last longest bet among the rockers. All 3 stayed in the audience and interacted till the end. They were a GREAT bunch of stars.
Chips are not available. They were put in home poker sets for the rockers.
