Description: |
In 2006, a group of ten chip collectors got together & played a No Limit Hold ‘Em poker satellite tournament table at the WSOP at the Rio. It was so much fun, that we decided to make an annual event of it. In 2007, during the CC & GTCC annual convention in Las Vegas, the first Whiner Invitational No Limit Hold ‘Em poker tournament was held. The first two Whiner Invitationals were played in The Venetian’s poker room, with events 3 through 7 taking place in the poker room at the “M” Resort. Since 2014, the Whiner Invitational has been played at the South Point. All players (varies from 20 to 30 each year) are chip collectors and participation is by Invitation only. “Whilst the majority of Officially issued Card Guard’s are for Sponsored Tournament’s, Clubs, Leagues & Casino Poker Rooms etc. there are also Privately run Tournament’s, that also issue their own Card Guard’s. One such example, is the Whiner Invitational Poker Tournament organised by Mr. Steve Bedo (CC>CC Member) which hosted its first Tournament in 2007 and is now an Annual Event held in Las Vegas. Each year, Steve has produced a new design and in some instances a new shape, for their Card Guard’s.” |
