PRESS RELEASE
September 14, 2010
Commerce Casino continues to achieve new heights in providing huge returns for
low buy in-tournament players. A record first prize payout of $100,000 was to be
awarded to the last player standing in the $120-buy-in Turbo No Limit Hold'em
event Sunday night in the casino's three-week-long Hold'em Series. Rudy Fulson
of Los Angeles topped the field of 3,030 players.
After searching records it was discovered that the $300,000 guaranteed prize
pool and the $100,000 guaranteed first prize were the largest payouts ever
awarded for a $100 or $120 buy-in casino poker tournament. The tournament
allowed players to enter or re-enter over six starting sessions.
Fulson, a full-time plumber and part-time poker player, learned to play poker
from his uncle, tried a few tournaments, was successful and has never looked
back. "I don't look around at other people's stacks to see where I am in the
tournament," said Fulson. "I concentrate on my table and try to be dominant. I'm
a winner and I won't settle for anything less."
Given the slow times for service professionals like plumbers, Fulson
acknowledged, "I thank God for this win." Asked what he would do with his
winnings, he joked, "I have a big family at home and they know that I won, so
when I get home they are gonna have their hands out!"
"Commerce Casino continues to provide the biggest guarantees in the world for
small buy-in tournaments catering to our local players and a few fortunate
out-of-towners," said Tournament Director Matt Savage. "Due to the enormous
success of this event, we have another one slated for Commerce's L.A. Open,
which extends from Nov. 3 to Nov. 21."
The current Hold'em Series underway offers $1.2 million in guarantees and
continues until Sept. 19.
