The Marathon Begins

Okay, here we go.

On to the Chicago Poker Classic, one of the biggest poker tournaments in the Chicagoland area.

I will be at the Horseshoe every day* once the tournament starts, bringing you all the action the Classic has to offer.

I'll also be live tweeting a number of the events next week, including the $1,000 Heads-up and $3,000 Main. You can follow the action live by following my twitter account, Chicago_Rounder.
