| BARGE is the mother of all Internet-related poker tournaments, bringing together computer-savvy players from all over the world for a good time, great poker and the chance to have bragging rights for the year. Quite a few WSOP champions have played in the main tournament & stayed around for some friendly low limit action with the rec.gambling crew. If you have a free week in August & can stand the heat, it is well worth a trip to Las Vegas. |
