Mark's Pick of the Month

You may think that it goes without saying that my pick of the month would be the World Series of Poker, but there are so many other exciting events to mention too. The Bellagio makes history with the first $25,000 buy in event, and also that wonderful venue of Foxwoods hosts the New England Poker Classic. I guess this time I will give you all the information and let you make your own pick of the month.

Wherever you may go, be lucky, take care and remember be nice to the dealers.

Mark
