Tonight, July 31st, NLOP.com welcomed the 108 players that earned seats to the 2009 NLOP Players Championship. A welcome reception was held in the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel-Poker Room that began at 5pm and ran into early hours of the morning. When players arrived they were greeted by NLOP.com representatives and provided a “Welcome Gift”, tournament ID badge and tickets to the NLOP Players Championship After Party.
Once the players were welcomed, they were invited to play in NLOP $40 Sit n Go tournaments hosted in the Hard Rock poker room. There was consistently two tables of NLOP Players playing in these quick tournaments. Later in the evening, the players were graced with the presence of Mike Sexton, Poker Pro and NLOP Ambassador. Mike took photos, signed autographs and played in a few sit n go tournaments.
Many of the players mingled around for most of the evening, meeting and greeting with each other. There were definitely a few exchanges regarding previous tournaments they had play against in. Vegas Hard Rock Hotel is alive in general but now with the buzz of the NLOP players it really is rockin’.
Stay tuned, more updates to come.
